More quotes by Wes Craven
If you think it, the camera will see it.
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.
Wes Craven
I've found that if you have two films that don't perform well it doesn't matter that you've had a bunch of successful ones. The phone stops ringing, and after Deadly Blessing and Swamp Thing that's what happened.
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 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 was] feeling like I'd done something horrible, I'm a despicable person and I'm perverse, and all these things, to a sense of the power and the necessity, in a sense, of horror films and dealing with dark material.
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
My mother wouldn't even let me read DC Comics.
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
A collection of masks, depicting historical figures in life and what I like to call the eternal repose.
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 came to terms with living mostly in a world of horror pictures or genre pictures.
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 did have the resource of having taught Greek mythology and the history of Western civilization, and you can go back into the plays of Aeschylus and follow what happens when people seek revenge, and there are people plucking their eyes out. And Greek mythology is filled with all kinds of monsters and whatnot.
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
The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself.
Wes Craven
Dad, girls don't fall down every time they run.
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
But I made him the Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security because that added an element of political espionage.
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
