More quotes by 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 stuff is my stuff. Sometimes it's not as successful as some of the other stuff. But it's my stuff.
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'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!
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. 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
I don't want a zombie society. I don't want to go that far.
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 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
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!
George A. Romero
For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.
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
Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.
George A. Romero
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
George A. Romero
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
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'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
I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.
George A. Romero
Collaborate, don't dictate.
George A. Romero
