When life gives you lemons, throw them at the zombies.
We make our own problems every time. Everything that we complain about is something we can solve.
Once you look past the hype, actors are nothing more than fugitives from reality who specialize in contradiction: we are both children and hardened adults – wide-eyed pupils and jaded working stiffs.
As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.
Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun.
If I had all the money in the world, I’d still make movies. But I’d want them to pay me in donuts.
Actors who say they can dive inside a character are either schizophrenic or lying.
If you don’t have any money and you want to make a horror movie, take a six-inch wide brush for house painting and dip that in a bucket of blood, and then just flick your wrist. You’ll get this great speckled splash of blood, and it will cost you nothing.
A cult classic is one that has been fully embraced by an alternative audience, not the popular audience.
I see the Internet as the next big deal – I wanted to get in on it early on so I wouldn’t get behind it all.

If you have script problems and you don’t fix them by the time you shoot, your script problems are now 40 feet tall.
My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
I’m not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.
You have to have horror that is entertaining, where you can laugh. Most people don’t want you to laugh at horror. They just want you to just be disgusted and terrified.
Such is an actor’s life. We must ride the waves of every film, barfing occasionally, yet maintain our dignity, even as the bulk of our Herculean efforts are keel-hauled before our very eyes.
