"My all-time favorite. You gotta remember, I’m old enough to have seen it in theaters when it first came out, with all the hype. The fact that it was such taboo material at that time was so incredibly powerful. If you didn’t live through it you can’t really appreciate the fact that there was so much hype going around, that people were saying that, after they watched the movie, they were getting possessed. People were buying into that, so it made it even more scary to go see it, because you were worried about going to sleep. And the movie was so well done. It still holds up. This many years later, I still think it’s a pretty damn good movie. I’ve always liked horror movies, even from the beginning when I was a little kid and saw The Birds. Scared the **** out of me. It was like the precursor to Jaws. Every time you looked at a bird that was staring at you from a tree, you would think, “Oh ****, it’s going to come down and pluck my eyes out.” And I’ve always liked action movies. That’s probably why I went into stunts. I always enjoyed watching the guys perform feats that looked like they were impossible, and I thought, “You know, I’d like to try that.”"
