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.

More quotes by George A. Romero
I think zombies would fit in anywhere. You can tell any story, and put zombies in it. I don't know how I'd find the backing, but I think it'd be great to make a zombie gangster movie.
George A. Romero
Zombies are the blue-collar monsters
George A. Romero
As a filmmaker, I love the medium. I have a great affection for it and I've been lucky enough to do all different kinds of films. The greatest part of the success I've had comes from horror. I love the idea of mixing humor and horror and to me, it's all a giggle.
George A. Romero
Collaborate, don't dictate.
George A. Romero
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
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
Nothings ever real until its real.
George A. Romero
I don't want a zombie society. I don't want to go that far.
George A. Romero
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
George A. Romero
Movies are about escape.
George A. Romero
I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.
George A. Romero
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
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 stuff is my stuff. Sometimes it's not as successful as some of the other stuff. But it's my stuff.
George A. Romero
If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
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
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
It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.
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
I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!
George A. Romero
