Zitat des Tages von Rob Zombie:
To me, horror and comedy never work. Never worked for me, anyway.
I'd always want to decorate my bedroom. I needed visuals and to be stimulated by things. I'm still like that. It's the way I see the world.
The pirating thing is bad. The people it hurts the most are the ones you least think it hurts. It's not the big Britney Spears albums that are being pirated; it's the indie bands that don't have two cents to their name.
NC-17 means that you get it in like 3 theaters. They won't run the spots on MTV, won't run the advertising. It's the kiss of death so there was really no other choice.
Probably the biggest thing that surprises people is that I am obsessed with hockey. I grew up in the Boston area so I am obsessed with hockey since I was a little kid.
It was like fighting with the MPAA... to me it was like this is an R easy... but it was NC 17 over and over and even with this cut they were like, you are right on the edge buddy, one more thing and it's NC-17.
I like 1977 because it is more primitive. If it were modern day, like one Universal guy was like wouldn't they just use their cell phone? I guess he did not read that it was 1977 in the script.
I remember, especially like when I was in high school, going to see like Dawn of the Dead and it was like mayhem in the theater and you could barely even watch the movie. It was so fun.
Those days if you drove cross country and you broke down on the side of the road, and the sign says 200 miles to the next gas station, you knew you were so screwed.
The funny thing is, I'm so used to not caring what anyone says, good or bad, that unfortunately even when people say good things... I wish it made me feel good, but it doesn't.
I don't believe in fate, because I'm not spiritual, but things do seem to work out.
Growing up, I had the weird fantasy list: I wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. You have to have almost psychotic drive, because you're going to have years of failure.
Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.
I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.
It's never been about making money.
You might like it as a joke or because you liked it then, but there isn't a whole new generation discovering Wham!.
I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned. I think people need to get out there and they need to work and they need to do their music because they love it. If they become successful, then great, and if they are not, whatever.
By the time we got to MGM, and Lions Gate the movie was done there was nothing else to say. It was done. Just as at Universal, it was art by committee.
I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.
You know... the only person I really had to please after a point was the MPAA. Because Lions' Gate was like, hey, whatever you can get away with is fine, we don't care.
Without really analyzing it, I grew up in Massachusetts, so the Salem witch trials were always something that I was around. The average kindergartner probably doesn't know about it, except that in Massachusetts, you do, because they'll take you on field trips to see reenactments and stuff.
I am like the Jack Nicholson of the Kings - every single game. If there was a game tonight I wouldn't be here. I used to play hockey. That was my original thing. My first thing, I wanted to play professional hockey.
I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.
Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.
I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.
I really just do what I like. I don't understand what the general public likes sometimes.
As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.
Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.
I never made movies that had any of my music. I haven't crossed them over that much.
