More quotes by Ti West
All those awkward moments - that's on the cast for doing such an amazing job. I think it was funny on the page, but when they did it, you definitely went, Oh! Watching it with a crowd that, like you said, was not expecting it to be funny, but then genuinely finding it funny, is totally a credit to their performances.
Ti West
Of course, we talked about Westerns we like with [James Ransone in Valley of Violence] , but it was always thematically in relation to the movie and what the themes of the movie were.
Ti West
It's one of those things, when you look back on it, you'd go, Oh, I could've done without that. If I could go back in time, I would do it different. That's the thing with violence in general.
Ti West
You have to. But I generally try - I'll creep in the back. I'll be outside. I'll pace around. I don't really get that nervous about whether people like [my films].
Ti West
I'm not sure I understand the compulsion to label things.
Ti West
The movie [ The Innkeepers] is in no way a comedy, but I would put some of the funny scenes up against some of the funnier comedies this year. I think it's genuinely really funny, but it's out of the gallows.
Ti West
It's very important to me to find ways to relate the audience to the characters. This is the first thing to go in most mainstream horror films.
Ti West
Typically, in Westerns, people who are in a Western feel like they're in a Western. It's almost like they know they do all these Western things.
Ti West
It's a combination of yes - making a movie about the characters - and then, also, budget.
Ti West
The first half [of Valley of Violence] was to endear you to all these people and give you all these archetypes that you're familiar with, and then the second half, just to see all those archetypes unravel like real people.
Ti West
I've done it with all my films. I always keep an eye on the first time I show it because... I don't know. Neurosis.
Ti West
You want to be able to say [to Ethan Hawke's character], Dude, it's okay, but maybe it's not. Maybe he's not a good person. I don't know. That's the thing about people. There is no real good guy or bad guy [in A Valley Of Violence]. It's all context.
Ti West
If you make just a straight scary movie, people are just - you don't know what they're thinking.
Ti West
There's nothing stopping you from making movies. You can always make and try different things.
Ti West
I'd been all hyped about it, I was like, Please come, and to have that and know Tommy Nohilly is probably going like, This is cool, it makes me feel good.
Ti West
One of my favorite scenes of the movie [Valley of Violence] is when Ethan Hawke is sitting at the campfire with the dog.
Ti West
I mean PJ - James Ransone - he was a friend of mine, he probably heard all this stuff, but for the rest of the cast [Valley of Violence], we mostly just talked about their characters and things like that. That was the business at hand.
Ti West
I do think, even though I've made these genre movies, there's what happens in the movie and then there's what the movie's about. And for me, what the movie's about is so much more interesting.
Ti West
The hardest animal was the vulture. But the horses were great, the dog was great [in Valley of Violence]. It was really easy.
Ti West
I like movies that leave things in the hands of the audience.
