Quote

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.

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

I've always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I'd be on a soap opera.
Bruce Campbell
Image
You could have a bunch of good actors but they can't keep a relationship to save their lives. Everyone thinks it's so glamorous that Ben Affleck is sleeping with all these different chicks. It's only because he can't keep a single relationship because he's working all the time.

I like the TV format. I like how fast it is.
Bruce Campbell
Image
I've managed to make a living in a very ridiculous business, and that's fine with me. The trick now is, after you've been in it for a while, you still have to remember to have fun.
Bruce Campbell

Every word out of my mouth is a word that I've approved.
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.

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.

Genres pop up and get hot and then they die down.

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.

I think having simplicity doesn't always mean that you make a good movie. I have a theory that a movie that's easy to make is hard to watch.
Bruce Campbell

As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.

It's very gratifying that someone likes what you're selling.

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
Image
For a long time I was embarrassed to say I was a 'B' movie actor, ... But now that I see what Hollywood's putting out, I realized 'B' actually means 'better.'

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.

I don't care about the genre so much. I'm good with horror, but I like other genres, too.
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.

You couldn't make a cheap drama. That would be too low-budget. Drama has to have good photography and well-known actors.
