Quotes Thanks a lot. That was a big blessing. I didn’t realize that it would do so well. I just thought I was doing another horror movie. I guess some horror movies can get backed into a corner. An acting teacher said to me to take the work of some people in a horror movie and change the genre into a World War II film, and it could be taken completely differently, like they could get nominated for an award. It’s the same level of work, the same depth of emotion, it’s just in a different context. I was watching Mad Max and that director really pulled it together. There is so much symbolism in his work and comments on society, women, and the patriarchal system. It was really interesting and I think if it were a war movie, maybe it would get nominated for an Oscar. The cool thing about The Conjuring was that it became a respected film just for being a film. Tarantino rated it as one of his top ten films of the year. James Wan sent me a text on my birthday, while he was doing Furious Seven. Everyone loved working with him. A lot of them commented to me saying how it was a different set and all of that trickled down from James’ demeanor. External links 3651929 Category:Living people Category:1987 births
