Edgar Wright's quotes

• [on Spaced (1999)] It's a show by geeks, for geeks.
• There were zombie films prior to George [George A. Romero], but he pretty much invented the cannibalistic aspect. What we now think of as zombies really are Romero zombies.
• Everything that I've done so far has had a bigger budget than the last, but I've never ever felt the benefit of the bigger budget because the ideas always exceed the budget.
• As dated as Octopussy (1983) is, I'd love to see a version of Quantum of Solace (2008) with Barbara Woodhouse 'Sit!' jokes and Tarzan yodelling sound effects.
• You either liked Spinal Tap or you were not worth talking to
• When I am not working, I try to watch more than one film a day if I can.
• I definitely went through a period when I was a teenager when every girl was 'The One' and every break-up was the 'Worst Thing That Had Ever Happened.'
• Tony Scott, Walter Hill, Michael Mann - I'm a big action fan, full stop. And even though Michael Mann is the more celebrated film-maker than Tony Scott, I love them both in different ways.
• We need to make more original movies, and audiences would do well to support original movies for the future of the medium.
• When I went to college, I discovered the Sega console, and 'Sonic the Hedgehog' became very dear to me.
• When I was younger, I used to love Tim Burton's 'Batman.' I was, like, 15, and even then, I was aware, 'This is really the Joker's film.' It's like, the Joker just takes over, and Batman, you really don't learn too much about him.
• If you're on a road trip, you need driving music.
• I'd like to do some things over again. I never want to repeat anything that went well, though - I just want to do better at slightly different things.
• I guess a lot of comic-book adaptations strive for realism. Christopher Nolan is making Batman seem very real and very serious.
• I tire of franchises, remakes, and endless sequels.
• Between the ages of 18 and 20, I made three hour-long films. One was a superhero film called 'Carbolic Soap.' One was a cop film called 'Dead Right.' And the other was called 'A Fistful Of Fingers.'
• Every time I watch a Clint Eastwood film, I'm in touch with my feminine side, I've developed a searing man-crush on Clint Eastwood.
• Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase.
• When I was at school, I used to end every school day with fountain pen ink all over my hands and face and down my shirt.
• If you ever watch police chases on, like, helicopter cams, they very quickly become nightmarish when you start to see the police coming in from the edge of the frame. I always find that terrifying.
• I know it's become an ongoing thing about whether videogames are art, and I think there's plenty of examples of things that use the form in a fascinating way. Things that are more surreal or artistic, like 'Katamari Damacy' or 'Vib-Ribbon.'
• If you go back to your home town or you're reunited with school friends, its always slightly bittersweet because as much as there's nice things in terms of seeing them again, the town has changed without you, and you're no longer a part of it.
• Wes Anderson deserves an award for sheer persistence of vision.
• I've always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I've wanted to watch and wanted to make.
• Critics should think about how the opening weekend audience might want to discover some surprises for themselves
• My parents used to talk about Sergio Leone films a lot. And I got really into them. I love Clint Eastwood. I love the camera angles. I love the music.
• I think you write the film that you want to see, and you try and do it honestly, and you can't control people's responses, really.
• I would say 'American Werewolf in London' is like an unconventional buddy movie: even if the buddy dies 20 minutes in, he still remains throughout the picture, and their partnership is one of the best things in the movie.
