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 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.

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.

As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.

When the war's over, I'll be kind.

We're all stumbling in the dark, and that makes for some pretty interesting collisions.

The pace at which people are taking to digital technology defies our stereotypes of age, education, language and income.

During the Nuremberg trials, Oswald Pohl, an SS Lieutenant General,...is shown here explaining how Farben operated such concentration camps as Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.

If you believe in yourself and feel confident in yourself, you can do anything. I really believe that.

Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.

My music was too religious for the rock and roll stores and too rock and roll for the religious stores.

A man who doesn't think differently from his time and environment can't grow beyond his time and environment.

It is not as if our homeopathic brothers are asleep: far from it, they are awake - many of them at any rate - to the importance of the scientific study of disease.
