As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!

More quotes by George A. Romero
Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.
George A. Romero
Hollywood doesn't trust me, and we don't really mix. When a movie has stars, everything in the budget goes up, even the catering costs. I just don't like the process of having Suits all around, so I prefer casting unknowns. It adds another level of tension - you don't quite know what to expect from them. My movies don't even need that much money.
George A. Romero
Movies are about escape.
George A. Romero
I've gotten letters, but mostly from Bible-belt types who say, you must be Satan! They come right out and call me Satan and hope that I'm damned to hell.
George A. Romero
Zombies are always moving fast in video games. It makes sense if you think about it. Those games are all about hand-eye coordination and how quickly can you get them before they get you.
George A. Romero
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
George A. Romero
Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.
George A. Romero
I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
George A. Romero
Anybody who tunes into Rush Limabaugh already knows what he's going to say and is already inclined to agree. So it winds up creating tribes.
George A. Romero
My stuff is my stuff. Sometimes it's not as successful as some of the other stuff. But it's my stuff.
George A. Romero
My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.
George A. Romero
You can fall on your face easily if you go off in a certain direction. The Birds is a good example, some people are really phobic about birds flying over their heads, and some don't care. So, it's a personal thing.
George A. Romero
Zombies are the blue-collar monsters
George A. Romero
Nothings ever real until its real.
George A. Romero
I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
George A. Romero
I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.
George A. Romero
I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.
George A. Romero
As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.
George A. Romero
My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
George A. Romero
My zombies will never take over the world because I need the humans. The humans are the ones I dislike the most, and they're where the trouble really lies.
George A. Romero
