I also feel a little anxious saying that I’ve lived a lifetime because I’m not finished, I want to keep working. I want to learn and find and scare the shortcoming in myself, and sometimes take out the shortcoming. I have to go back to some of those earlier horror movies, but that’s another story for later. As long as there is joy for me in it, and as long as my audience can find joy and other human values ​​in my films, I am reluctant to ever say that it is over.
