Usually you always see first cut is an extended version, because it's basically everything you shot, and you have that version and then you start cutting stuff out.

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.

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.

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.

Women that can work a camera with ease often work men just as effortlessly for both require the same commitment to vanity and manipulation.

The horror of the Pit lay in the emergence from it, with the return of her will, her caring, and her feeling of the need for meaning before the return of meaning itself.

think about yourself because selfishness is everywhere

My worst fear is my music won't connect with the public.

I think I was only attracted to drunken douches before I got married.

...an everlasting funeral marches round your heart.

Influence is the platform God gives you to help others succeed.

My good intentions are completely lethal.

Winners aren't perfect. They made fewer mistakes than their rivals.

Fairy tales lie just as much as statistics do, but sometimes you can find a grain of truth in them.
