You might meet a guy who turns out to be the best guy you've worked with. They don't have to be some name brand person. I've met a lot of lower level actors and directors who were terrific; that are as good as any other A level director or actor, they just don't get the recognition. So I'm happy working with anybody who wants to show up to play the game and has a clue.

I think none of the humor in the first Evil Dead was intentional. We weren't that sophisticated. We got more sophisticated with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness where you can start to manipulate the audience a little more, having more control over the medium instead of just trying to figure out how to do it. I suppose that's pretty normal with any craft. Every carpenter is better 20 years later.

Actors are always going to have a little bit of themselves in everything.

Actors who say they can dive inside a character are either schizophrenic or lying.

We've all made bad decisions, but they haven't always been resulting in the deaths of innocent people.

All men think they're fascinating. In my case, it's justified.

You have to take the horror seriously but there's gags aplenty. Most people, when they do horror it's just grim.
