More quotes by Walter Hill
I liked Batman because he was more grounded. I never liked Superman much or Captain Marvel or Shazam.
Walter Hill
I'm not even against superheroes. It's not my cup of tea. But there's just this endless stream of them and they are so repetitious and suspend certain rules in a way that I don't find dramatically helpful. The imperviousness can be too much.
Walter Hill
I'm always happy to talk to somebody it's flattering that people remember your movies. Especially some movie that you did, for Christ's sake, almost 35 years ago, or what's especially pleasant is if you're talking about some movie that you did 35 years ago and they're 20 years old.
Walter Hill
I get a great high from writing.
Walter Hill
I don't much like looking back.
Walter Hill
I always loved comic books and I'm still a great fan of the graphic novel.
Walter Hill
He had found the band of jackals he needed. But as Jack McCall rode through the center of town, he experienced the terrifying certainty that a man faces when he's about to make his own name famous. He lacked both a hero's calm and a coward's resolve to survive at any price.
Walter Hill
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
Walter Hill
I think the problem with the cinema currently is that so much of the money that goes movies that offer a certain kind of repetition.
Walter Hill
Action movies to me are dramas with recognizable human beings that are in extraordinary situations.
Walter Hill
I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.
Walter Hill
Naturally we need black men to give this movie serious credibility.
Walter Hill
It always sounds kind of trivial, but when I was a kid I was always so impressed by how serious the comic books were. I always liked how they were half way between literature and the cinema. I liked the visuals and I liked the simplicity of a certain type of moral dilemma.
Walter Hill
The graphic novel form really interests me and I like the freedom that format offers.
Walter Hill
Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.
Walter Hill
I've always wanted to do a boxing movie.
Walter Hill
There's a tricky tone where you try to get some humor into a movie that's also a tough tale of murder and revenge. You have to ice skate rather carefully between the humor and the action tension part of the drama.
Walter Hill
Some say Hollywood movies that are made about boxing are just metaphors for other things, I think I've made one that's actually about boxing and not a metaphor.
Walter Hill
I tend not to look back. It's confusing.
Walter Hill
I wouldn't not want to be a director and write as I wouldn't not to want to be a writer and direct movies.
Walter Hill
