More quotes by Wes Craven
Something like Nightmare On Elm Street, to me, was kind of an examination of levels of consciousness and the pain of facing the truth, and how easy it is to fall asleep, or want to fall asleep.
Wes Craven
All of us have our individual curses, something that we are uncomfortable with and something that we have to deal with, like me making horror films, perhaps.
Wes Craven
I came to terms with living mostly in a world of horror pictures or genre pictures.
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
I think if anybody had a roll of dice with a lot of money at stake, they would not want Wes Craven and a romantic comedy.
Wes Craven
I have a lot of fans who are people of color. I think, if nothing else, I kind of understand that sense of being on the outside looking in, culturally.
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
I have felt over the years a definite progression or arc from feeling guilty about what I had done with the first one [film], because certainly there was all that fundamentalist guilt that came pouring back in.
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 make something I can look at and say, That's a good piece of work, and there's some terrific directing and acting in it, and you should be proud of it.
Wes Craven
I'm having a reputation of being somebody who will not be crazy. Not descend to doing drugs and spending an enormous amount of money, and instead delivering a product to people. Something they can sell and recoup their money and make a profit.
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
Dad, girls don't fall down every time they run.
Wes Craven
I've done a few interviews where I realized that 9/11 was the ultimate home invasion, not to be glib about it. You know, where the place that you think is safe and the people that you think are safe and far from evil are suddenly just slaughtered by it, and you have no control over it.
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
The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself.
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
There's more emphasis on art and culture in Europe than there is in the United States and I think that a lot of American directors and writers are just trying to copy other American horror films, they don't pick up much in the way that European filmmakers do.
