The bad guys, when they start getting picked off, they're upset that their friends died, too. But that's the thing. That's what life is. It's that weird gray area.

[Valley of Violence] was written for James Ransone. PJ's a friend of mine, I've known him for a long time, he's always like, Dude, when are we going to make a movie together? I finally called him.

It's a combination of yes - making a movie about the characters - and then, also, budget.
Ti West
Image
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.

If people don't like [my film], the ship's sailed. There's nothing I can do about that.

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.

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].

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.

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.

As filmmakers, the Western is a historic, cool thing to be a part of once in your life.

The hardest animal was the vulture. But the horses were great, the dog was great [in Valley of Violence]. It was really easy.

If you make just a straight scary movie, people are just - you don't know what they're thinking.
Ti West
Image
They're both [Ethan Hawke and John Travolta] so good. It's hard to explain. But they're consummate professionals and you see the little choices they make - you see it in their eye. You see these little details they do where you go, That's why they're them.

I think having funny characters is just one way of having three-dimensional characters.
Ti West
Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

In general, I go to see the stuff that for me is, Thank God for that actor, he's doing something that I never imagined thank God for this filmmaker, because if this person didn't exist, this movie wouldn't exist. That's why I go to the movies. That, to me, is what's so exciting about this movie.

One of my favorite scenes of the movie [Valley of Violence] is when Ethan Hawke is sitting at the campfire with the dog.

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.

There's nothing stopping you from making movies. You can always make and try different things.
