“For some reason, no one wanted to give me money to make a movie writte...” — Robert Eggers Quote

For some reason, no one wanted to give me money to make a movie written in early modern English that involved a lot of puritans praying - even if it did involve a witch.

The Shining' is one of the few horror movies that I actually like and it actually scared me.

I saw a picture of Max Schreck as Count Orlok in a book in my elementary school and I lost my mind.

Certainly in Catholic countries, the peasantry have always found ways to integrate pagan things in a way that makes it a little bit easier just to be a human being.

Since the release of 'The Witch,' I'm actually much more warm towards bad horror movies than I was making 'The Witch.'

Early is on time, on time is late and late is forgotten. Is it a rule? No. It's my personal mantra, and I feel like I have a lot of respect for time. I really do. It's precious. We shouldn't take it for granted.

My parents instilled a strong work ethic early on in my life.

Scientists, especially physicists, we're presumptuous and think we can do everything better than everybody else. And one thing that I realized early is, I had some talent managing and organizing things - you know, some people are better organizers than others - but why should I reinvent the wheel?

If you learn late, you pass it on to people so they can learn early. It's a step process.
