Joel Schumacher's quotes
- [1997] I felt I disappointed a lot of older fans by being too conscious of the family aspect.... Now, I owe the hardcore fans the Batman movie they would love me to give them.
- I am one of Lars von Trier's fans and like the Dogma movement
- Yes, but you'd be surprised how many people didn't know who Philip Seymour Hoffman was. Only if you said, "the fat guy in Boogie Nights (1997)" would people know who you were talking about because they didn't know his name then.
- ...it is show business and it's more business now than it is show because all the studios now are owned by huge conglomerates and corporations, unlike the old Hollywood where everybody knew each other by their first names.
- Probably no country has spent as much money as my country on drug wars and I'm not sure who's winning except for the drug dealers.
- 8MM (1999) would never get made today. I think it's a really bold, really controversial film - as are a lot of my films.
- The basis of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) is there's a group of people. Everyone had their group and you always think you're going to be best friends forever. But life comes in. So, can you be best friends forever? It touches on universal themes.
- The question I always get is, 'How do you know these young people are going to be stars?' You don't. You just know there is no one like them. If Julia Roberts walked into your office at 20 and you didn't hire her, you shouldn't be in the movie business.
- [on The Lost Boys (1987)] Vampires are hot. They're the only erotic monster. Frankenstein's not hot.
