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.

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.

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.

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.

What matters in relationship isn't how you see each other, but whether you see each other.

Aures habent et non audient' - 'They have ears but hear not

Sometimes all you know about where you're going is that it's away from where you are.

Necessity is the constant scourge of the lower classes ennui of the higher ones.

The truth is, I can never die. For I will be in everything and see you in everything and watch over you. I am your reaction in the water of a mountain lake.

Defeat in itself was part and parcel of the great gambling game of politics. A man who could not accept it and try again was not of the stuff of which leaders are made.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school

I know that good things will happen for me if I keep working hard.

A Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps.

I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.
