The Thing from Another World' was the first movie that really scared me.

I think you're only free if you're working on very low or huge money.

My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.

Just because I'm showing somebody being disemboweled doesn't mean that I have to get heavy and put a message behind it.

As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!

I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.

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