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.

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
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
I like the TV format. I like how fast it is.
Bruce Campbell
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.'
Bruce Campbell
I'm not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.
Bruce Campbell
My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
Bruce Campbell
It'll die down like every other genre, but horror has always been one of the four or five main genres that will never go away.
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
It's very gratifying that someone likes what you're selling.
Bruce Campbell
Every word out of my mouth is a word that I've approved.
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
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.
Bruce Campbell
It's smart to have a set of younger actors. People don't always want to look at me. They want to look at other people.
Bruce Campbell
Westerns pop up every so often, everybody does a western and then they all die.
Bruce Campbell
Only comedies can get you that engaged in a movie, dramas people just sort of sit there and eat their popcorn and nothing really happens, they might cry a little bit, but that's it. Horror movies are talking at the screen, guys are elbowing each other, laughing at each other because they got scared. That's the beauty of a horror movie.
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
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
I've always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I'd be on a soap opera.
Bruce Campbell
Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun
Bruce Campbell
Once you look past the hype, actors are nothing more than fugitives from reality who specialize in contradiction: we are both children and hardened adults—wide-eyed pupils and jaded working stiffs.
