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

There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.

Zombies are the blue-collar monsters

I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.

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.

A zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running around and observing how they fail to handle the situation.

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