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.

More quotes by Rob Zombie
People have this delusion that everything has to be for everybody at all times. Every album must be liked by everybody, and every TV show must be liked by everybody, and every movie must be liked by everybody. Everything then becomes bland.
Rob Zombie
On the first feature, everything's new. No matter what you're doing, it's a new experience, and you don't really have control over it, in a way, because you just don't know how things work.
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 think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
Rob Zombie
I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
Rob Zombie
I wanted it to be like a high quality, drive-in movie.
Rob Zombie
I don't want to just make horror movies I don't want to just make any type of movie - I don't just like horror movies, I love movies.
Rob Zombie
If you have a lot of money, you know that you can make almost anything happen, but with a smaller budget you don't have a lot of time or too many resources, so you have to conceive things in a very simple manner and make them happen fast.
Rob Zombie
You know... the only person I really had to please after a point was the MPAA. Because Lions' Gate was like, hey, whatever you can get away with is fine, we don't care.
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
Movies in general are more generic. If something sells just make more. That's Hollywood.
Rob Zombie
I don't do anything for the money. I don't need to. I could have retired after White Zombie and been just fine. Money doesn't matter. But there is still a good living to be made, even in the niche. The funny thing is, as time goes on, the niche stuff gets bigger and bigger.
Rob Zombie
I didn't grow up in a creative environment. It was very boring town, boring everything. You go to school and you basically hate all the other kids because you don't understand them or what it's all about. At the same time I'm happy for that because I became very withdrawn and when you become withdrawn you develop your own bizarre-o personality.
Rob Zombie
A lot of times the best trailers are for complete dogshit movies. It's a shame that people are beyond quick to judge things these days. Lots of great stuff gets lost that way.
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
I could care less what people think.
Rob Zombie
I know when something is done and when it isn't. There's been times working on movies when they [moviemakers] lock in a release date and so you're stuck to that schedule. But sometimes you're still editing and you feel like you're not really done, but they're sort of releasing the movie anyway - that's kind of depressing.
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 just like movies, not one particular kind or genre. In fact, movies that are harder to classify I like more.
Rob Zombie
Growing up, I had the weird fantasy list: I wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. You have to have almost psychotic drive, because you're going to have years of failure.
Rob Zombie
