“I always wanted to do film. And I still love theater.” — Robert Eggers Quote

I always wanted to do film. And I still love theater.

Folk tales, fairy tales, religion, the occult - these are the things I'm most passionate about, even more than cinema. And I'm very passionate about cinema.

My brother and I grew up in a setting in the woods very much like 'The Witch' in southern New Hampshire, and then we would drive up north to Maine to settings like 'The Lighthouse' for vacations.

The Diary of Samuel Sewall,' 'The Diary of John Winthrop,' these are easy for anyone to get their hands on. This was really common stuff and there's tons of cases of demon possession.

I wrote a lot of scripts that were dark and fairy tale-like, but too strange.

I love doing theater. That's where my home is.

I think I was 10 when I saw my first R-rated movie, 'Stand by Me,' in the theater.

I love the theater of me.

I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.

All this thing that L.A. doesn't have any love for the theater isn't true.
