More quotes by Wes Craven
I think the important thing about staying creative and staying sharp and original is not to look back too much.
Wes Craven
I think that there has been a slow recognition that there's a mind at work here, and there's a skill and some bit of artistry, and that I could probably do other things. Otherwise, I don't know that I would've been given the opportunity to do Paris, Je T'Aime.
Wes Craven
I came to terms with living mostly in a world of horror pictures or genre pictures.
Wes Craven
It's quite rare that you make something and think that you did something that no-one else had done.
Wes Craven
My mother wouldn't even let me read DC Comics.
Wes Craven
A lot of life is dealing with your curse, dealing with the cards you were given that aren't so nice. Does it make you into a monster, or can you temper it in some way, or accept it and go in some other direction?
Wes Craven
I came from a very strict background. [So if you want to make a scary movie] if you were raised as a fundamentalist, just pull all the skeletons out of your closet.
Wes Craven
As long as you keep the audience on the edge of their seats, either scare them or keep them guessing, you can put anything in there that you want.
Wes Craven
I learned to take the first job that you have in the business that you want to get into. It doesn't matter what that job is, you get your foot in the door.
Wes Craven
I'm writing a film called 'Bug.' It's an original script, and it's not about killer insects. It's a thriller set in a high school. The bug of the title refers to a surveillance device.
Wes Craven
The first monster that an audience has to be scared of is the filmmaker. They have to feel in the presence of someone not confined by the normal rules of propriety and decency.
Wes Craven
When I was a kid, I was taken to something called Telenews in Cleveland by my best friend's father. My own father was gone by the time I was 5, I think, but this man would take us to Telenews at the end of World War II, and we'd watch all these newsreels. I'd seen real stuff. That kind of stuck in my mind.
Wes Craven
But I made him the Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security because that added an element of political espionage.
Wes Craven
I love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films.
Wes Craven
A collection of masks, depicting historical figures in life and what I like to call the eternal repose.
Wes Craven
I believe the cinema is one of our principal forms of art. It is an incredibly powerful way to tell uplifitng stories that can move people to cry with joy and inspire them to reach for the stars.
Wes Craven
If you think it, the camera will see it.
Wes Craven
Horror films don't create fear. They release it.
Wes Craven
If you're in a theater, people are texting, all around you. You have the little glowing screens everywhere. Think of how annoying that can be.
Wes Craven
I like to address the fears of my culture. I believe it`s good to face the enemy, for the enemy is fear.
Wes Craven
