My zombies will never take over the world because I need the humans. The humans are the ones I dislike the most, and they're where the trouble really lies.

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

I think zombies would fit in anywhere. You can tell any story, and put zombies in it. I don't know how I'd find the backing, but I think it'd be great to make a zombie gangster movie.

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.

I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.

I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
