Any asshole can make a good movie for $100 million. I think it's way harder to make a movie with no money, and to start with no contacts and work your way up to international productions.

More quotes by Uwe Boll
Of course there are a lot of books that are interesting to make movies out of, but on the other hand, I think video games are also kind of like bestselling books for the younger generation, and the younger generation is the one going to the theaters.
Uwe Boll
As a filmmaker, I get compared to people who have no clue how to do anything, but because of some Internet writing, it looks like they would actually be better filmmakers. I think this is absurd.
Uwe Boll
A lot of the main audience thinks video game-based movies are always horror movies but it's totally not true. In video games you have adventure, sci-fi, horror, action and even comedy. I think that people should accept more that video games are kind of like the best-selling books of the new generation.
Uwe Boll
I boxed 15 years in a club.
Uwe Boll
I like the direct contact. I want a lot of people that only know me through the mass media to learn more about what I'm doing, and to know that I'm an independent filmmaker and I'm not part of the Hollywood system. I'm coming from where they started. I'm not coming from a family with a lot of money.
Uwe Boll
In The Name of the King is the right title. To be honest, I don't know who had the final idea for the title but I liked it and it has a strong connection to the movie's story.
Uwe Boll
Interview with a Vampire was lots of sex, so I'm not sure.
Uwe Boll
Slater's a big star and he's been in the business a long time. He's always in a good mood and easygoing but he takes his character very seriously.
Uwe Boll
Postal will be so politically incorrect and harsh, it's like a mirror to American society, and I don't think the movie will be well received by everybody. For example, Osama Bin Laden will be one of the lead characters - I think that shows the mood of the movie.
Uwe Boll
A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.
Uwe Boll
I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.
Uwe Boll
Now while the German money is over for Hollywood, I still have $80 million to make movies, and we will have two things coming up: less major movies and the price for actors will go down.
Uwe Boll
The thing is, I think as a director or a writer or whatever, you have to have a vision. And you have to be maybe sometimes too early, somewhere.
Uwe Boll
I think the Matrix effect is over-used and I don't do it anymore.
Uwe Boll
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
Uwe Boll
So if I get these actors for 30% of their price by coming in so late with an offer when they know they are not getting another offer then I do it this way.
Uwe Boll
I think the harsh reviews helped, in that I spent way more energy in the preproduction and development. From this point of view, I'm very thankful for the harsh critics. I still think the critics were unnecessarily insulting in a lot of things, but I think it helped.
Uwe Boll
So if you want to have a great video game-based movie you have to keep the mood of the game, use the normal character setup - but you have to flesh out the story and provide more background for the characters.
Uwe Boll
Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.
Uwe Boll
I produce for a low price and I sell it on my own to 80 countries.
