More quotes by Rob Zombie
You just have to do the thing that you feel is true to your vision, and then the audience will make the decision. But as soon as you feel like you're creating a product to just cater to what you think they want, it never works. It always feels phony. And the audience can tell immediately.
Rob Zombie
I think if you're going to remake a film it should be something that was a good idea, but wasn't executed well. There isn't anything I would like to remake. I have too many of my own ideas I want to make.
Rob Zombie
White Zombie was a bunch of kids with the worst equipment playing in a basement. But that is what is so great about it. There is no reason to think that you can't do it.
Rob Zombie
NC-17 means that you get it in like 3 theaters. They won't run the spots on MTV, won't run the advertising. It's the kiss of death so there was really no other choice.
Rob Zombie
I have always found clowns really fascinating, especially on film. Even as a kid I was never scared of them.
Rob Zombie
I understand why some kid in his bedroom in Wisconsin thinks downloading songs couldn't hurt anyone. True fans will buy the CD or go see the movie after downloading, but to say it doesn't affect anyone - come on.
Rob Zombie
Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first.
Rob Zombie
When you lock a movie's release date and then move it two months, it's just not good. It's good for everything but the cast, crew, and people who are creatively trying to make a film.
Rob Zombie
The thing that I see disappearing is just the love of old movies among kids. Everything's accessible, so you can get it, but when everything's accessible, that means you have to access it. And if you're not interested, you don't.
Rob Zombie
If there is one thing that, as a director, you don't want to be a part of, it's a group. It's the same thing with music. I don't want to be a part of a scene. Just leave me alone. It's just my nature, and it's nothing against the people that are in that group, but I just like to be left alone.
Rob Zombie
Dreaming be damned, this is control. Raping your soul, devil's hole.
Rob Zombie
I never want to go back and remix old records, either. If a record sounds shitty, that's just the sound it has. I just take it as part of the music. Some of my favorite bands - their old records sound terrible. But that's just part of the sound. If they were perfect, I'd probably hate them. Same thing with movies.
Rob Zombie
The hardest part was convincing people that I was serious. The people were like 'you want to do this again'?
Rob Zombie
I'd always want to decorate my bedroom. I needed visuals and to be stimulated by things. I'm still like that. It's the way I see the world.
Rob Zombie
I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.
Rob Zombie
I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.
Rob Zombie
Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.
Rob Zombie
I'm not extremely political. I think everything should be layed out and you can make your own conclusions. As soon as I feel I'm being taught something or preached something, I just glaze over it and I don't want to hear it.
Rob Zombie
No matter how successful the remake is, it seems to me it's forgotten quickly after and it's the original that still lives on.
Rob Zombie
All the classic bands that have been around forever, they came up gradually.
