Quotes About Accessible

The definition of horror is pretty broad. What causes us "horror" is actually a many splendored thing (laughs). It can be hard to make horror accessible, and that's what I think Silence of the Lambs did so brilliantly - it was an accessible horror story, the villain was a monster, and the protagonist was pure of heart and upstanding so it had all of these great iconographic elements of classic storytelling. It was perceived less as a horror movie than an effective thriller, but make no mistake, it was a horror movie and was sort of sneaky that way.

I'm in show business. I believe in illusion and delusions and in holding aloft the bubble of a dream of some sort because, really, there are lots of reasons to look at the chasm.

Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.

I like esoteric stuff but it's not my voice - it's not what I have to make. It helps to make something that's accessible.

There's a lot of bullshit, but most people in the film business aren't getting rich. They're working hard.

Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies.

What I think networks do so well are big, fun, accessible, invite everybody into the tent kinds of storytelling, akin to an early Spielberg movie or a Michael Crichton novel.

That's the spirit behind Virgin Sport - we wanted to introduce fitness activities that are enjoyable, accessible and part of your overall lifestyle.
