I really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.

I take things from everywhere, and I still haven't figured out where I took [some things] from.

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away.

Definitely my favorite cut is the one that got put out. That's my favorite version of the film, the one that I put in theaters. That's my directors cut, there's no question about it.

Usually you always see first cut is an extended version, because it's basically everything you shot, and you have that version and then you start cutting stuff out.

When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.

Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.
