When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.

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.

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.

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

In the name of the United States and President Bush, I want to thank the Mexican people, President Fox and his government for their friendship.

This avidity alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal, and directly destructive of society.

After you pray, accept, adapt and move on, .. That's what winners do.

I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.

My wife Susi and my kids quite simply are the most fun of all my friends.

Everything on the radio is metaphorical in a bad way. But when I write a lyric, like "bang my box," that's pretty clear.

You can and you must expect suffering.

I also felt guilty about the three pens I'd stolen, but only for a second. And since there was no convenient way to give them back, I stole a bottle of ink before I left.

I am interested only in the unknown and I work for my own astonishment.
