More quotes by 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'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 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.

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
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
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
Horror films don't create fear. They release it.
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
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
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
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
