Fear is a place where you just tell the truth
Clive Barker
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
Behind their eyes the hope was sickening and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been.
Clive Barker
Journey to the end of day, Come the fire-fly, Come the moon Say a prayer for God's good grace And sleep with lore upon your face.
Clive Barker
For a writer, and particularly a writer of my genre, which is the fantastical, I think that it's to my advantage to feel remote from and disconnected from the world of deal making.
Clive Barker
Those old hypocrites. They talk about killing witches but the Good Book’s full of magic. Turning the Nile to blood and parting the Red Sea. What’s that if it’s not good old-fashioned magic? Want a little water into wine? No trouble! How about raising the dead man Lazarus? Just say the word!
Clive Barker
I don't like to make a distinction between the writer and the painter , finally , because I do both things anyway . Everybody's dreaming and trying to put down their dreams in the way that their hand knows best . I feel as much a unity , as much comradeship , with painters as I do writers .
Clive Barker
Always, worlds within worlds.
Clive Barker
Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
My life is in the art that I make, and I'm very happy with it.
Clive Barker
Everything is in flux: everything changes the body changes, the soul changes. We are capable of extraordinary self-transmutat ion and internal self-transforma tion.
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
You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it.
Clive Barker
Never believe your eyes
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
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
Clive Barker
Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is.
Clive Barker
The extraordinary's the norm.
