“I'd love to do more theater.” — Robert Eggers Quote

I'd love to do more theater.

Tons of folktales have to do with hares and witches. Basically, witches all over Europe turn into hares and are able to do malevolent things in the form of a hare. It goes back to the great god Pan. Pan is, if we're going to do archetypal projections, related to the Christian Satan, but as a child, Pan was wrapped in a hare's hide.

Honestly, I'm a snobby person.

Certainly as a director you want to be working with people who are on the same page as you and that you can trust and get along with.

Cinemascope has become synonymous with 'epic,' and absolutely if you're shooting armies and certain kinds of vast landscapes, you do want that panoramic canvas to work on. But if you look at art history there's not a whole lot of epic paintings that are in that aspect ratio.

I used to do theater in L.A., but it got to the point where everything was really showcase-y.

I love small films, and I love films being seen in a theater. I love film, and unfortunately, that's being phased out.

I really only started doing film in '97. I mean, before then, I just pretty much did theater.

I wanted to go to theater school.

I love being funny! I started in the theater when I was 9 and, believe it or not, always played the funny part!
