When I was a kid, I was taken to something called Telenews in Cleveland by my best friend's father.

That kind of stuck in my mind.
Wes Craven
People who are kind of at the cutting edge of life and survival, and being near the nitty-gritty, like my films, and I like that.
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
Dad, girls don't fall down every time they run.
