Quote

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.

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

A cult classic is one that has been fully embraced by an alternative audience, not the popular audience.
Bruce Campbell
Image
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
Image
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're not looking for the Rolls Royce and the big fancy trailer. Those are supposed to be the byproducts of having fun and then getting good at what you do.
Bruce Campbell
Image
You'll lose about two million brain cells every minute that goes by.
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
Image
I don't care about the genre so much. I'm good with horror, but I like other genres, too.
Bruce Campbell
Image
I've always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I'd be on a soap opera.
Bruce Campbell
Image
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.
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.

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.

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
Image
As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.
Bruce Campbell
Image
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
Image
My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
Bruce Campbell
Image
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
Image
Westerns pop up every so often, everybody does a western and then they all die.

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.
