I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently.

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.

When I'm working on a movie, I will make any sacrifice to finish it.

Subject matter that is not bound to reality offers more opportunity to write a unique story and cinematically present it in very unique ways.

I have done some short pieces that are not horror.

We should assume that the end product can be switched off by any consumer who is offended or frightened by it.

Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong.

Everyone has an opinion, and the guy screaming for censorship may be the next guy to have his ideas cut off.

If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist.

Also, I plan to screw something up on every movie I do so that I can learn from my mistakes and become a better director with each project.

This indication of audience interest is good for all horror movie makers at any budget level.

Yet I never want to make a movie purely for the money.

In this way, some film schools can be destructive.

And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge.

I think you get out of film school what you put into it. If you don't care about making movies, film school will do you no good.

Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?

I aspire to eventually be making my living by making movies.

I position everything else in my life around making movies.

We should all have the opportunity to express what we want to express.

I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently.

I've also directed, shot, and edited several music videos.

To us, basing stories on christianity is the same as basing stories on Roman mythology, Native American folklore, or unsubstantiated government conspiracies.

More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.

The horror genre is important because it promotes experimentation in filmmaking.

Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies.

I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.

I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society.

Most of my technical knowledge comes from having worked in the industrial video industry.

I never want to become arrogant and think I've made a flawless movie.

Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.

Each feature I make is my focus at that time.

Directors who turn into big babies and shut out criticism stop learning.

I did not go to film school.

I think the act of condensing months or years of work down to a couple hours of entertainment is pretty wild and extremely rewarding.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.

The fact is I've been in Massachusetts for the last two weeks, and it seems over the last few days that the price is increasing by the hour at the pump, so there needs to be an aggressive investigation.

In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.

Working-class Americans have waited too long, close to a decade in fact, for an increase in the minimum wage. This has been the second longest period without a pay raise since the Federal minimum wage law was first enacted in 1938.

The fact is, Latinos now own their own lives and I believe they can afford to look back without judgment.

The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.

It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say.

I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

People expect us to be different, but we're not. We're very similar people, and it's because we're so similar and close to each other that we make each other laugh - in fact we make each other laugh more than we make anyone else laugh.

I can't tell you how hard I worked the last year. In fact, I worked so hard that I know I can't maintain that same work level in 2001, so I've got to quit something.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.

The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.
