More quotes by 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 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
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 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 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 think the important thing about staying creative and staying sharp and original is not to look back too much.
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 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
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'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
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'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
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 like to address the fears of my culture. I believe it`s good to face the enemy, for the enemy is fear.
Wes Craven
My mother wouldn't even let me read DC Comics.
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
If you think it, the camera will see it.
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
[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
Many, many things are dangerous in our world, commercials and TV are dangerous, and so is the world of sitcoms. But nobody does anything about them because they're turning in alot of money.
Wes Craven
