More quotes by Seth Grahame-Smith
We may all deserve hell, but some of us deserve it sooner than others.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Some novels present a story form many points of view. Most movies tell only one person's side of the story. Sometime it's easy to use the strongest point of view, or find the character with the most dramatic experience. It depends on which themes the scriptwriter wants to explore.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I always say that the characters in Jane Austen's original books are rather like zombies because they live in this bubble of immense wealth and privilege and no matter what's going on around them they have a singular purpose to maintain their rank and to impress others.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Contrary to his infallibly honest image, Abe wasn't above lying so long as it served a noble purpose.
Seth Grahame-Smith
And I like a mouse who has taken a cat for its tutor.
Seth Grahame-Smith
If a movie has more characters than an audience can keep track of, the audience will get confused and lose interest in the story.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Elizabeth sheathed her sword, knelt behind him, and strangled him to death with his own large bowel.
Seth Grahame-Smith
My men have suffered greatly (from boredom), much blood has been shed (by mosquitoes), and I have swung my ax mightily (chopping firewood). Surely we have earned our place in the annals of history—for never has there been so little war in a war.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Movie characters rarely get to think out loud or talk very much about their emotions. Instead they have to, very briefly, show their feelings through their action or through dialog.
Seth Grahame-Smith
What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I dare say she means to keep you from his attentions. Your honour demands she be slain.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Of all the weapons in the world, love is the most dangerous.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I like my zombies slow and I like my zombies stupid.
Seth Grahame-Smith
It was a sort of peace I have rarely enjoyed since. As if we were the only two souls on earth—all of nature ours to enjoy. I wondered why a creator who had dreamt such beauty would have slandered it with such evil. Such grief. Why He had not been content to leave it unspoilt. I still wonder.
Seth Grahame-Smith
All I ask is that my final months be happy ones, and that I be permitted a husband who will see to my proper Christian beheading and burial.
Seth Grahame-Smith
But I am happy. And happiness, I have decided, is a noble ambition.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I wouldn't back away from what's right just because it's hard.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Without death,' he answered, 'life is meaningless. It is a story that can never be told. A song that can never be sung. For how would one finish it?
