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.

More quotes by Rob Zombie
I don't like the fact that people are supposed to think horror movies have a way things should go. I always try to do the exact opposite of what people expect and want.
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
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
I'm psychotically involved in every tiny little aspect. That's just the way I've been about everything my whole life.
Rob Zombie
I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.
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
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
Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.
Rob Zombie
I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
Rob Zombie
Even a low-budget film costs way more money than a high-priced record. So, it's mo' money, mo' problems. When you have more money, it just creates more people trying to get involved and you have more trouble.
Rob Zombie
Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.
Rob Zombie
I have always found clowns really fascinating, especially on film. Even as a kid I was never scared of them.
Rob Zombie
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.
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
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
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
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'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
As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.
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
