The prospects were depressing: Adulthood meant that I'd have to stop having fun and do something I didn't really want to do for the rest of my life – which was apparently a considerable chunk of time.

More quotes by Bruce Campbell
The Way I See It: If you're worried about getting a job-or keeping one-start a company of your own. By doing so, you'll reap the rewards of your hard work and you'll only get fired if you fail. This is the land of opportunity. Live in it.
Bruce Campbell
A cult classic is one that has been fully embraced by an alternative audience, not the popular audience.
Bruce Campbell
The happy medium is television. And if you find a good suitor, you can do it for years. With movies, you roll the dice. If people don't show that weekend, you're doomed. TV allows you to percolate a little bit, and it gives you a chance for people to find it.
Bruce Campbell
Horror I appreciate is one of the few genres that can wind the audience up and make them pay attention. I kind of like that. It's one of the few genres that can be very manipulative.
Bruce Campbell
You'll lose about two million brain cells every minute that goes by.
Bruce Campbell
I see the Internet as the next big deal - I wanted to get in on it early on so I wouldn't get behind it all.
Bruce Campbell
Too many actors are trying to be cool: they're trying to do it with their hair, trying to do it with the color, trying to do it with clothes, or some bullshit attitude you're either cool or you're not, that is my theory. If you have to try, it is too late.
Bruce Campbell
Funny stories on set - there are thousands of them, but they are only funny to the people who were on the movies. You start to have inside jokes and gallows humor. You have all kinds of things you laugh at, but as soon as you tell somebody, the joke falls flat because they don't know the context of it.
Bruce Campbell
I think the Internet is the single greatest revolution to come around in a long time. It's so convenient, it's frightening. I can definitely see why some people don't leave their house anymore.
Bruce Campbell
Such is an actor's life. We must ride the waves of every film, barfing occasionally, yet maintain our dignity, even as the bulk of our Herculean efforts are keel-hauled before our very eyes.
Bruce Campbell
You have to be careful with fans, they'll turn on you. They turn quick. Twitter can go dark fast. If you talk about something serious on Twitter, you better be ready. If you try to pull out real facts or talk about political opinions or something religious, forget it. Like if people asked me who I was voting for, you couldn't touch that one.
Bruce Campbell
If you don't have any money and you want to make a horror movie, take a six-inch wide brush for house painting and dip that in a bucket of blood, and then just flick your wrist. You'll get this great speckled splash of blood, and it will cost you nothing.
Bruce Campbell
As an actor, I look for the part itself. I look for the story and the role. If there's no money, but it's a good part in a good role, I'll still consider it. Basically, the worse the role is, the worse the story is, and the more they'll have to pay me. It's a simple correlation.
Bruce Campbell
You couldn't make a cheap drama. That would be too low-budget. Drama has to have good photography and well-known actors.
Bruce Campbell
Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it's a spontaneity-killer.
Bruce Campbell
Cult films last forever. I have been in plenty of films that no one will remember, so it is nice to be in some movies that some people do, and that they pass it along to the next generation I'm meeting kids named Ash now.
Bruce Campbell
I've always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I'd be on a soap opera.
Bruce Campbell
As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.
Bruce Campbell
I prefer a much looser style. Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it's a spontaneity - killer. I don't get making sure you get every word right in some stupid speech just because a writer sat there and did it.

My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
