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

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.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

Under current law volunteers who are not working with an official nonprofit organization are not covered by the Volunteer Protection Act. Therefore, there are absolutely no legal protections for the average American who wishes to volunteer.

Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

P.C. is just too Big Brother - telling me how I should act and feel.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war... to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism.
