I Think If Anybody Had A Roll

I Have A Lot Of Fans Who Are People Of Color. I Think, If Nothing Else, I Kind Of Understand That Sense Of Being On The Outside Looking In, Culturally.

I Came To Terms With Living Mostly In A World Of Horror Pictures Or Genre Pictures.

There Was A Generation Of Kids Who Were Just Kind Of Emulating Distant Heroes And Wearing Peace Symbols, And Parents Who Were Thinking Of Themselves As Liberal And Removed From Barbarity, But It Also Was The Era Of Vietnam. I Very Much Was Influenced - And I Think The Whole Country Was Kind Of In A State Of Shock - For The First Time Seeing The Horror And Cruelty Of War.

All Of Us Have Our Individual Curses, Something That We Are Uncomfortable With And Something That We Have To Deal With, Like Me Making Horror Films, Perhaps.

I Love The Fact That A Lot Of My Audience Is People From The Inner City. African-americans Love My Films. Whenever I Go To Have A Meeting At Universal, The Security Guard Just Leaps To His Feet And Comes Over, Bumps My Hand, And Says, "thank You! Thank You, I Love Your Films!" And It's People Who Are Kind Of At The Cutting Edge Of Life And Survival, And Being Near The Nitty-gritty, Who Like My Films, And I Like That.
