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.

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.

For some reason, Horror movies, they seem like good date movies. When you go to them it's all high school kids, all over each other, running up and down the isles, no one is even looking at the screen anyways, they figure they don't have to pay attention to the story anyways. We scream and yell... it's like mayhem.
Rob Zombie
I'm definitely of the mindset of I wouldn't want to be part of any group that would have me as a member.
Rob Zombie
There are always tons of names on a movie of people that didn't actually do anything on that film. I feel bad for the people that busted their ass because they get the same credit as someone who did nothing. It's kind of a weird thing.

I'm not a big fan of remakes. And even if they are good, they're still not as good as the original, so what's the point?
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.

Without really analyzing it, I grew up in Massachusetts, so the Salem witch trials were always something that I was around. The average kindergartner probably doesn't know about it, except that in Massachusetts, you do, because they'll take you on field trips to see reenactments and stuff.
Rob Zombie
I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
Rob Zombie
All the classic bands that have been around forever, they came up gradually.
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
When you can program your own life, you're just going to program what you already like. Because of that, people's taste becomes much more narrow-minded.
Rob Zombie
Just getting movies made is difficult because it takes a lot of money I mean, it costs more money to make one movie than most bands will spend on every single record of their entire career it's a huge undertaking.
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
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.

Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?

My advice: Don't quit. When I got to New York City, I lived so far below the poverty line, because I didn't give in and get a job at 7-Eleven. I think you can thrive in misery.

I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
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'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.
