For me it sounds weird saying that the filmmakers respect the film. I don't imagine that there's other ways to make a film, but unfortunately there is.

In my everyday life, I can be as square as I want. But when it comes to movies and telling stories, I can't. I've got to be radical, and on some level, that's what I like to do.

That's kind of my ideal sequel - a movie that continues the story, takes one character and moves on, and moves forward with that character that survived with the first one.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

There are the horror fans that love the Evil Dead because of the humor, but I’m sure it’s not all of them. Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.

There's so much stuff going on behind the cameras. Sometimes people think these things are done certain ways and when you watch that you see how hard and down and dirty it was.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.

I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.

In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.

There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.

When you wage war on the public schools, you're attacking the mortar that holds the community together. You're not a conservative, you're a vandal.

Lying on the roof counting the stars that fill the sky I wonder if Someone in the heavens looking back down on me I'll never know So much space to believe

We told him to get on with it. We liked wasting time, but almost nothing was more annoying than having our wasted time wasted on something not worth wasting it on.

Some may not like the Constitution's requirements, but that doesn't make the Constitution a pirate's charter.

Be in the habit of getting up bright and early on the weekends. Why waste such precious time in bed?

The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.

Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.

To deny a genocide because of convenience and expediency having to do with an illegal war or occupation in Iraq to me, is double hypocritical.

I didn't have the self-promotion instinct, and I just didn't care about it. I sort of had a "beat" attitude.

Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
