The thing I love about vampires that I find so fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations, they aren't monsters from the get-go, they're human beings first... and so what kind of human you are would dictate what kind of vampire you would be.

That's what media do. They make you out to be a monster.

I seem to be the most wordy when it comes to monsters because I'm a bit of a monster freak.

Most of the monsters... are based on some sort of mythology. Every culture and even some geographical areas have monsters and mythology that is their own.

There aren't that many monsters. It's very hard to create a new monster.

I have on my bookshelf a book called 'Movie Monsters' by Alan Ormsby, a kids' book I got when I was in kindergarten. It started there.

The most fascinating and satisfying encounter so far was the goliath tigerfish of the Congo. I first caught one in 1991, and then again while filming the second season of 'River Monsters' in 2009. Its appearance is quite unbelievable, like a giant piranha, with inch-long interlocking teeth.

As movie monsters go, zombies are the most human. They were human at one time. So we are confronted with ourselves in a way, which is much more frightening and disturbing.

There's monsters in all of us, but there's also vulnerability.

I'm no angel, but I'm no monster, either.

There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.

I stick closely to the structure of the myths. I may have some fun with the mythology by changing the environment to modern-day, but the structure of the myths, the monsters, the relationships of the gods - none of that is made up.

Monster Hearts is pretty cool!

Everybody loves monsters.

I started seeing in the monsters as a more sincere form of religion because the priests were not that great, but Frankenstein was great.

Monsters aren't as scary if you start shining lights on them.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.

Everyone carries around his own monsters.
