“A zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running arou...” — George A. Romero Quote

“A zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running around and observing how they fail to handle the situation.”

“Back then, in 1968, everything was suspect - family, government, and obviously the family unit in 'Night of the Living Dead' completely collapses. That's what we were focused on.”

“If you look to the few films that have been really successful, 'Insidious,' 'Paranormal Activity,' it's all basically the old monsters.”

“I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.”

“Because of 'World War Z' and 'The Walking Dead,' I can't pitch a modest little zombie film which is meant to be sociopolitical.”

“The zombie was just an intriguing character; it is a sympathetic character.”

“What intrigues me is that you get a good bunch of musicians together, and interesting things will happen.”

“Growing up, I loved magic, I loved acting, I loved comedy. I really didn't know what direction I was going. I was trying a whole bunch of stuff.”

“It's like that Simpsons joke - they're filming a cow in a movie and they go, 'OK, we'll tape a bunch of cats together to make a cow', and it's like, 'Why don't you just use a cow?'. For some reason that is novel - like, 'Oh, my guitar sounds like a piano and now if I can just get my piano to sound like my guitar'.”

“People look at me and go, 'He's only successful because he's got a bunch of 16-year-old girls at his back who don't understand comedy.' Well, they do. In any case, no one hates me more than I do; no one's more self-conscious about that than I am.”

“I'm an HBO subscriber, and I watch a bunch of great shows on HBO.”

“I know there are a lot of experts in the media - a bunch of smart guys out there who know exactly what they're talking about all the time. They don't know what they're talking about.”
