The top 10 most inspiring quotes by George A. Romero
- I’ve always felt that the real horror is next door to us and that the scariest monsters are our neighbors.
- I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.
- If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they will pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
- A zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running around and observing how they fail to handle the situation.
- I have also always liked the idea of the monster within. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
- My zombies will never take over the world because I need humans. The humans are the ones I dislike the most, and they’re where the trouble really lies.
- As a filmmaker, I love the medium. I have a great affection for it and I’ve been lucky enough to do all different kinds of films. The greatest part of the success I’ve had comes from horror. I love the idea of mixing humor and horror, and to me, it’s all a giggle.
- I think zombies would fit in anywhere. You can tell any story and put zombies in it. I don’t know how I’d find the backing, but I think it’d be great to make a zombie gangster movie.
- My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I’m not a student of the genre. I don’t care what anybody else does.
- Just because I’m showing somebody being disemboweled doesn’t mean that I have to get heavy and put a message behind it.
