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

Cult films last forever. I have been in plenty of films that no one will remember, so it is nice to be in some movies that some people do, and that they pass it along to the next generation I'm meeting kids named Ash now.

If you have script problems and you don't fix them by the time you shoot, your script problems are now 40 feet tall.

I prefer a much looser style. Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it's a spontaneity - killer. I don't get making sure you get every word right in some stupid speech just because a writer sat there and did it.

It's smart to have a set of younger actors. People don't always want to look at me. They want to look at other people.

Genres pop up and get hot and then they die down.

I'm sick of over-trained heroes. I'm really bored with that. Guys that are just ripped to shreds and full of skills. That's boring me. Give me the mechanic that picks up a weapon. Now I'm interested. That's my hero.
