I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.
Clive Barker
So we make stories of our own, in fevered and envious imitation of our Maker, hoping that we'll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born.
Clive Barker
She was a sea: and I had to swim in her.
Clive Barker
A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.
Clive Barker
Fear is a place where you just tell the truth
Clive Barker
