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.

I like guys who are understandable and good guys who are flawed.

It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.

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

My stuff is my stuff. Sometimes it's not as successful as some of the other stuff. But it's my stuff.

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

I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
