George A. Romero's quotes

• If I fail, they [the film industry] write me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
• [on his fourth installment of the "Living Dead" series, Land of the Dead (2005)] The idea of living with terrorism--I've tried to make it more applicable to the concerns Americans are going through now.
• If one horror film hits, everyone says, "Let's go make a horror film!" It's the genre that never dies.
• If you have 60 people dress like zombies and you show them something that you like, you get 60 people doing the exact same thing. My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
• I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!
• My zombie films have been so far apart that I've been able to reflect the socio-political climates of the different decades. I have this conceit that they're a little bit of a chronicle, a cinematic diary of what's going on.
• Yeah, I'm seen by the studios as a genre guy. I've made several non-genre films, but nobody went to see them. I guess I'll never be a member of that club.
• I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
• Just because I'm showing somebody being disemboweled doesn't mean I have to get heavy and put a message around it.
• I guess in my pictures you're either doomed or you've got yourself a hell of a job.
• I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
• I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.
