Things have a tendency in the film business to fall apart more often than they come together.

I find psychological thrillers interesting both dramatically and visually.

No one faith is necessarily s...

No one faith is necessarily superior to another. All explanations are valid and in some respects when it comes to the big mysteries of life.

Brad Anderson 10 quotes

I think it is harder to scare...

I think it is harder to scare young people because there is an ironic hipster stance that you have to take in relation to pop culture. You know you're being manipulated. People are so aware of the manipulation. We're all aware that movies toy with us and pull our strings. There was a time when people just didn't acknowledge that as much.

I've always liked dark, creepy movies, but for some reason, I started on the film scene with romantic comedies.

I don't think anyone can call...

I don't think anyone can call a movie like 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' a horror movie. It's a jolt. It's a series of jolts followed by a quick one-liner that's wallpapered with an MTV rock & roll soundtrack. That's not horror to me.

I don't know, maybe I just like to mix it up and have a more of an eclectic need to just try out new things and road test ideas and try out a genre that I haven't done before.

It's such a great city, visually. You can't get that kind of look in Canada that you can get in Boston: the old-brick historical buildings, the winding streets, the old but funky neighborhoods like Southie and Somerville. You can't get that elsewhere. It's a very unique place in that way.

I don't see myself doing any ...

I don't see myself doing any comedies. I like comedies as much as anyone else; I just don't really have a desire to do them.

As a filmmaker, you just make...

As a filmmaker, you just make the movie you want to make, and you sort of put your faith in the distributor to make sure the right people see it.

When I went to Sundance back ...

When I went to Sundance back in 1998, indie film was all the rage, and Miramax was throwing down five or six million dollars for several films each year. Those were the salad days of indie film, and those days are over. I'm not out there worrying too much about it.

In terms of my career, it began in earnest when I was living in Boston. I started doing my own films, working initially as an editor and editing assistant - briefly - at WGBH, as an editor on other people's movies, trying to get some experience under my belt, but eventually just doing my own short films, doing them my way.

My favorite filmmakers are in...

My favorite filmmakers are in the Kubrick, Polanski kind of mold. I just like that world. I think it's more cinematic and gets under your skin more.

You don't fall in love with someone because they're perfect and meet your requirements - you fall for the things that are different about them or even problematic.

Brad Anderson 10 quotes

There's a difference between telling a story and not providing an explanation because you just don't do it well or pull it off.

There's something bizarrely funny about a guy who doesn't realise he's, in essence, a dog chasing his own tail.

I did a lot of traveling after college on trains through India, China, and Russia. I somehow managed to make it back in one piece, and I actually pulled a lot of the anecdotal experiences into the making of 'Transsiberian.'

I'm drawn to a story partly based on the fact that it's something I might not be as familiar with.

'Session 9' used light and darkness to create atmosphere.

I don't think of the 'indie film world' as this cohesive kind of world anyhow. It's so disparate: all these different filmmakers seeking financing from many different sources to make different kinds of movies. It's hard to pinpoint a trend, really.
