More quotes by Clive Barker
Zombies are the liberal nightmare. Here you have the masses, whom you would love to love, appearing at your front door with their faces falling off and you're trying to be as humane as you possibly can, but they are, after all, eating the cat. And the fear of mass activity, of mindlessness on a national scale, underlies my fear of zombies.
Clive Barker

Clive Barker
Keep it simple. Trust your imagination. Discover what is unique about your imagination. Don't simply read a story and copy it. I go into myself. Then I transcribe what visions I have. If those ideas are original, and you are devoted, you will go far.
Clive Barker
Fear is a place where you just tell the truth
Clive Barker
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Clive Barker
Give me B movies or give me death!
Clive Barker
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
Clive Barker
Why'd you want to sing about sad things? Candy had asked him. Because any fool can be happy, he'd said to her. It takes a man with real heart —he'd made a fist and laid it against his chest— to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.
Clive Barker
You'll learn, honey. Love can be the best thing in life. And it can be the worst. The absolute worst.
Clive Barker
I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.
Clive Barker
I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
I don't take accusations of selling out lightly.
