I have my own past and my own personality. I'm going to relate to the material in a completely different way than somebody else might.

I grew up in the indie world, and that's what I'm used to, but there's something really incredible about having money behind a film and having the time to do as many takes as you want.

There's some freedom that you get with indie films that you don't get with the big-budget ones. There's just a different style. I hope I can switch back and forth for the rest of my career, but I've kind of grown up on indies, and there's nothing better than working with these directors so closely and and being such a huge part of the process.
Maika Monroe -
When you look at the roles I've done and the roles coming up, they're all strong. I guess I'm more drawn to that than that kind of submissive role females can be categorised as.
Maika Monroe -
Acting is such a crazy industry, but kite boarding keeps me grounded.
Maika Monroe -
I grew up really loving old-school horror such as 'Halloween' and 'The Birds.'
Maika Monroe -
There's a lot of garbage, and then there are those ones that just stand out so incredibly. You fight for those roles; you do everything in your power to get it.
Maika Monroe -
'The Shining' scares me so much.
Maika Monroe
-
They have so many great horror movies made in the '80s. I mean, the old-school horror is so good.
Maika Monroe -
There are a lot of times where, filming 'It Follows,' I'm fighting against a guy dressed in a green suit for special effects, and I'm just like, 'No. There's no way this is going to be pulled off.'
Maika Monroe -
When I was living in the Dominican Republic, the local kids became a part of my family.
Maika Monroe -
You go to see movies to feel something, and being terrified - there's something so fun about that.
Maika Monroe -
With kiting, you have to land a trick, and in that instant you know whether you won or lost - I knew I could become the best in the world if I trained. But with acting, there are different variations; there's not a right or wrong way. It's so hard because it's so out of your hands. I have no idea what's going to happen!
Maika Monroe -
I don't look at myself as a Scream Queen, and I don't plan on continuing on this genre route. If anything, I want to go very different places.
Maika Monroe
-
There's a lot of comedy in 'The Guest,' so it was a bit more fun in a sense - it wasn't so heavy like 'It Follows.'
Maika Monroe -
Cheerleader roles are really not my thing. I want things that are weird or not typical.
Maika Monroe -
I wasn't thinking that I was two horrors back to back; I was thinking these were characters that I want to play.
Maika Monroe -
If I met Jack Nicholson, I would probably get a little flustered. Not going to lie. I've watched his movies since I was so young. Such a fan.
Maika Monroe -
I would really love to play a superhero. That is definitely up there on my list. Captain Marvel especially. That would be so cool.
Maika Monroe -
My goal is to continue to act and still be a professional kiteboarder.
Maika Monroe
-
I like challenges. I think that's important.
Maika Monroe -
I grew up watching horror movies with my dad. For as long as I can remember. I grew up loving being terrified. 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' at sleepovers. Hiding behind my fingers.
Maika Monroe -
You can learn more from a person just from their observations and how they see the world. More so than just talking.
Maika Monroe -
I've cracked my head open before; I've had some great injuries. So I have to do it on the side now. I cracked my head open kiting before a competition in New Caledonia. The water was shallow, and I missed a trick and hit my head on a rock.
