Samuel Fuller
“Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.”
William Lustig
“I had a passion. It came from passion, I didn't have some masterplan - it was totally organic.”
Clive Barker
“Some people think that horror films are some sort of second class filmmaking, and the only way to bypass that thinking is being proud of the fact that we do it.”
Herschell Gordon Lewis
“I see filmmaking as a business and pity anyone who regards it as an art form.”
Ivan Reitman
“I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse. ”
Sam Raimi
“I look at myself as an entertainer, more than anything else. I wanted to make the movie a little more different than the previous films… That was less about me growing as a craftsman. That was more about me trying to provide an element to the audience that I thought they might need something different, that came from a different place.”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
Jack Arnold
“I love science fiction. As a youngster, I used to buy all the pulp magazines. I loved them. I was very pleased when I was assigned to direct my first SF film because I was still an avid fan. The more I did this type of film the better I liked it, because the studio left me alone.”
Vincent Gallo
“I constantly try to reinvent my sensibilities and my ideas. I enjoy some of the satisfaction that I get when I feel good about what I've done. But the process is quite lonely and quite painful.”
Joe Dante
[About producing movie trailers for Roger Corman] "We did all kinds of things in trailers to help sell films. We had a famous exploding helicopter shot from one of those Filipino productions that we'd cut in every time a trailer was too dull because that was always exciting."
Edward D. Wood Jr.
“One is always considered mad when one perfects something that others cannot grasp.”
Mel Brooks
