Seth Grahame-Smith
I decided that it was more important to laugh than to eat.
Seth Grahame-Smith
There are but two types of men who desire war: those who haven’t the slightest intention of fighting it themselves, and those who haven’t the slightest idea what it is. … Any man who has seen the face of death knows better than to seek him out a second time.
Seth Grahame-Smith

I think zombies have always been an easy metaphor for hard times. Because they're this big, faceless, brainless group of evil things that will work tirelessly to destroy you and think of nothing else.
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.

My job on 'Dark Shadows' was to make it fun and funny, first and foremost. It can still be dark and it can still even be gory and gothic at times, but it also needed to be fun and it needed to be an experience that people would enjoy having.
Seth Grahame-Smith
It was a really strange and unique sort of process for me to adapt my own book.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I wouldn't back away from what's right just because it's hard.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I nearly broke out laughing when the wrteched soothsayer warned Caesar: Beware the Ides of April. I thought it a miracle (and a relief) that no one in the udience had snickered or yelled out a correction. How could such an error be made by an actor? Had my ears deceived me?
Seth Grahame-Smith
Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing, has no education, no money, lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another, through sheer force of will, he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country.
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
Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do for I shall not have my best warrior resigned to the service of a man who is fatter than Buddha and duller than the edge of a learning sword.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Contrary to his infallibly honest image, Abe wasn't above lying so long as it served a noble purpose.

The day Henry made a choice... that some men are just too interesting to die.
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.
