Q: This movie is really scary and totally freaked the audience out.
A: Hooray!!!

Q: It was very spooky without being gory.
A: Great.

Q: Obviously how a film is lit and shot translates to how scary it will be, but how when you were reading the script did you visualize how creepy it was going to be on the page?
A: I know that you can't do this in a normal way. If you shot this first of all with not good actors — if you didn't have Will Patton and Laura Linney in this movie, and if you didn't have a director who could find an unusual and unpredictable visual vocabulary for suggesting what's going on without showing it to you — then you have no place to start. You'd end up with a TV movie and a really bad one. So clearly you can see how it can go off and how it can go right.

Q: Your faith is very important to you and you are a very spiritual person. Given the opportunity to know the force is at work on the other side, would you rather know or not know?
A: I think that we know. I don't think that we have any choice. If you just have your eyes open you see it. You have self-centred, angry, dark, black thoughts those are the forces that come to you. No question about it. When you have elevated thoughts, when you have thoughts of real love and compassion, those are the forces that come to you.

Q: Up until last year with Moulin Rouge, movie musicals haven't really been doing well. Now you are up in Toronto shooting Chicago with Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Are you excited about it?
A: I love working on Chicago, and by the way I thought that Moulin Rouge was terrific. Visually I think that The Mothman Prophecies has some parallels to that. They both have an adventurous use of cutting edge vocabularies. Chicago is a very different film. It's not a cutting edge film in that sense. It's set in the 20s and its got a fairly traditional story line to it. We are having a great time. Catherine Zeta-Jones is amazing and Renée Zellweger is great and Queen Latifah is just wonderful. People are going to be stunned at how well everyone sings and dances. Even me!

Q: Pretty much every female of a certain age has had a crush on you since An Officer and A Gentleman and here you are in 2002 still a sex symbol. How does that feel?
A: I don't relate to this at all, believe me. I don't know what it means but that's very sweet of you to say, thank you.
