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.

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

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
Everybody's got brain matter in their hair, and somehow that makes it a very happy workplace.
Bruce Campbell
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.
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
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
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
You can't get a movie made without a script it's the blueprint to your building.
Bruce Campbell
People who sleep around to get roles are frail and scared and most likely without talent. It's their own little horror show that only they can deal with.
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
Every word out of my mouth is a word that I've approved.
Bruce Campbell
Westerns pop up every so often, everybody does a western and then they all die.
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 see parody as another form of comedy. If you are making a comedy, there are a lot of different ways to do it. I'm not necessarily always aware of my quote-unquote persona when doing things like that. It's more, What does the character need at the time? I'm certainly drawn to certain types of material, there's no doubt about that.
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.
