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.

More quotes by Walter Hill
Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.
Walter Hill
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
Walter Hill
Naturally we need black men to give this movie serious credibility.
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 always loved comic books and I'm still a great fan of the graphic novel.
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
When people are still getting pleasure from something that you did 30 years ago, it makes you feel good. I always say it makes an old man happy.
Walter Hill
I liked Batman because he was more grounded. I never liked Superman much or Captain Marvel or Shazam.
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
I get a great high from writing.
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
When you get into making movies, then the physical mundane reality of life must be presented. But in comics you can jack it up and work in shorthand.
Walter Hill
I've always wanted to do a boxing movie.
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 tend not to look back. It's confusing.
Walter Hill
You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.
Walter Hill
I'm doing my best. I read in the paper that I'm an action director. They always say that, Action director Walter Hill, if they bother writing about me at all. I think that's fine. I'm happy to do the work.
Walter Hill
I don't much like looking back.
Walter Hill
The graphic novel form really interests me and I like the freedom that format offers.
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.
