Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.

Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.

I've always felt that the real horror is next door to us, that the scariest monsters are our neighbors.

I've never been able to reuse characters, I've often wanted to. I've never been able to get people to cooperate. I can't get anyone together on any kind of deal.

I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!

As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.
