More quotes by Edgar Wright
We like to imagine that Shaun is in George Romero's universe, that it's happening at the same time as the Pittsburgh outbreak.
Edgar Wright
In a weird way, riffing on genres is kind of a reaction to formula. When you watch so much of the programmers and the films that you just think you've seen before, it's kind of going back to the well in terms of trying to conjure up the spirit of what made you excited about films in the first place.

I used to drink a lot of lager when I was younger, but I'm more of a wine drinker now, I guess. I feel daunted looking at full pints.
Edgar Wright
I came from another county. I spent 15 years in Wells, but I was treated like an outsider. It was like, Oh, you're not local.
Edgar Wright
I've always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I've wanted to watch and wanted to make.
Edgar Wright
I'm a big fan I like all sorts of genres. I do like an occasion to just switch my brain off and enjoy some mindless carnage.

The editing process, to use a slightly grim analogy, is like the slow suffocation of lots of babies. It's like, which finger do you want to cut off first?
Edgar Wright
I think it's good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent.

I used to stay up all night playing 'Resident Evil 2,' and it wouldn't stop until the sun came up. Then I'd walk outside at dawn's first light, looking at the empty streets of London, and it was like life imitating art. It felt like I'd stepped into an actual zombie apocalypse.
Edgar Wright
It's funny, my agent came up to us and said, That line, when Nicholas says, 'I'm gonna bust this thing wide open,' what film's that from? I said, I think it's from every film. It's just like you get into that kind of mode of generic dialogue, it's fun to do.
Edgar Wright
Near my apartment in London, a lot of the pubs kind of look identical, which is very strange.
Edgar Wright
The script and the performances and the style all clicked.
Edgar Wright
Usually in TV... A TV director could be anything from a main grip to just a glorified cameraman, and sometimes a director can be the person who is hired last. It's very much a producer's medium.
Edgar Wright
I think when I was getting into directing, or wanting to be a director, when I was a teenager, the two films that really inspired me were Raising Arizona and Evil Dead II. And in the case of the former, I thought, Wow. Why don't all comedies look like this? And then as I started doing comedy, particularly when I started doing it on TV...
Edgar Wright
I don't want to get them in trouble for crimes in the early '90s - but there was usually like one pub that was the soft touch in terms of you could get served under 18, and that pub was The Rose and Crown.

Now I'm back in LA, it's high time to finish a little something I've been working on.
Edgar Wright
There are things that are about the entire genre, so it's weird when you look on Wikipedia and people say, The scene where Angel grabs his fist is from Superman II, and you're thinking, Ummm, no it's not. Or, There's a shot from Matrix Revolutions. I'm thinking, I've only seen Matrix Revolutions once, and will never watch it ever aga

I call it Inherent Twice because I am looking forward to seeing it again.
Edgar Wright
Everything that I've done so far has had a bigger budget than the last, but I've never ever felt the benefit of the bigger budget because the ideas always exceed the budget.
