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.

More quotes by 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
I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
Rob Zombie
Sometimes I'll go out into the crowd and keep singing, but I'll get maybe seven rows out and I'm out of synch, I'm a couple seconds behind the band and then it becomes chaos.
Rob Zombie
I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
Rob Zombie
Every time I make a movie I have too many characters and too many locations.
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
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
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
What bother me, not bother me, exactly that's not the right way to put it. But especially in the horror genre, once a movie like Paranormal Activity comes out and becomes popular - and that's a totally fine and valid movie - everyone starts copying it. Everything becomes a found-footage movie that looks like somebody shot it with their phone.
Rob Zombie
There`s always the trick with anything what`s a remake. Like how much do you want to make that is brand new and how much to you want to keep that is original?
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
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
Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?
Rob Zombie
As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.
Rob Zombie
Everybody knows that Black Sabbath started everything and almost every single thing that people are playing today has already been done by Black Sabbath. They wrote every single good riff... ever.
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
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.
Rob Zombie
I could care less what people think.
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
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
