More quotes by Wes Craven
The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself.
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
I love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films.
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
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
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
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'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'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 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
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
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
A collection of masks, depicting historical figures in life and what I like to call the eternal repose.
Wes Craven
My mother wouldn't even let me read DC Comics.
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 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
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
Dad, girls don't fall down every time they run.
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
