More quotes by Wes Craven
I came to terms with living mostly in a world of horror pictures or genre pictures.
Wes Craven
My mother wouldn't even let me read DC Comics.
Wes Craven
But I made him the Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security because that added an element of political espionage.
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
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
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
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
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
If you think it, the camera will see it.
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 love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films.
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
It's quite rare that you make something and think that you did something that no-one else had done.
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
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
A collection of masks, depicting historical figures in life and what I like to call the eternal repose.
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 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
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 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
