It's very gratifying that someone likes what you're selling.

I think having simplicity doesn't always mean that you make a good movie. I have a theory that a movie that's easy to make is hard to watch.

'Evil Dead 1' was never supposed to have a sequel.

It'll die down like every other genre, but horror has always been one of the four or five main genres that will never go away.

If you ain't got socks, you ain't got much. But if you got 'em, you might as well pull 'em up. It's a statement of self-sufficiency. We should all be more self-governed.

If I had all the money in the world, I'd still make movies. But I'd want them to pay me in donuts.

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.
