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.

More quotes by Walter Hill
Naturally we need black men to give this movie serious credibility.
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
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
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
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
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
Action movies to me are dramas with recognizable human beings that are in extraordinary situations.
Walter Hill
You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.
Walter Hill
I get a great high from writing.
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
All producers encourage you, whatever it is, to make it more-so. If you've got a joke, can it be funnier? If you've got an action sequence, can it be more exciting? That's the nature of being a producer.
Walter Hill
I tend not to look back. It's confusing.
Walter Hill
Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.
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
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 did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.
Walter Hill
I always loved comic books and I'm still a great fan of the graphic novel.
Walter Hill
The graphic novel form really interests me and I like the freedom that format offers.
Walter Hill
I think action movies on the whole have moved more and more into large spectacle, even leaving out super hero movies that seem to me to be more a fantastic science fiction than they are action movies.
