Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000086318
My favorite movies are the ones that are different the second time, or where you're constantly discovering new things. It's not just genre movies, either, and it's not just about twists. I saw 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' four times in the theater before I realized it's a love story. I love that. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000116238
The horror genre gets you in touch with our primal instincts as a people more than any other genre I can think of. It gives you this chance to sort of reflect on who we are and look at the sort of uglier side that we don't always look at, and have fun with that very thing. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000150336
I just don't want to make the same old movies. I'm not interested in it. Directing's hard. It takes up a lot of your life, and I'm not that interested in making the same old film. -- Drew Goddard

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000181797
I've been lucky between 'Buffy,' 'Angel,' 'Alias,' and then 'Lost.' The thing they all have in common is that they were all fearless. They were not afraid to be different and try something different. Even if you didn't know that it was going to work, just try to do something new and fresh. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000235523
Like anything, I think there are some wonderful found footage movies, and there are some less good. Certainly when it's done well, I really love it. I really love it as a genre. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000241290

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000336516
I feel that in horror movies, especially, if you don't care about the characters, you've lost the audience. No one cares, and it becomes a process of watching people get killed. -- Drew Goddard

It's so rare that you meet your idols and they outdo your expectations. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000402223
You start to fall in love with characters as you work with them, and anytime that you care about your characters and you realize that you're gonna have to kill them, that fear creeps in. It's sad. It's scary, and it's also sad. Because you like these people. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000410908
I've always said I'm less interested in twists as I am about escalation. -- Drew Goddard

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000538506
I tend to fall more into the fun horror genre than the traumatic horror genre. I love the films where you're laughing as much as screaming, but that doesn't mean I don't like the other ones. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000584763
I love TV. I've been lucky that I get to do both, and both have things I love about them, features and TV. I hope I get to do both for the rest of my career. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000660533
Like everyone else, I love 'Born Again:' that was a seminal work for me. Everything Frank Miller did on 'Daredevil' is like the Bible. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000680412
Here's the thing about 'Cabin in the Woods.' I did virtually no research on this movie. -- Drew Goddard

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000749789
I feel the way I always do about sequels. If there's an idea that excites me enough, and it feels like a way to do something new and fresh, then great. But I don't ever want to do a sequel just for the sake of doing a sequel. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000784567
I had one of those families that let me watch things they should not have let me watch. When I was a kid, I remember I watched 'Alien' at, like, 6. It was traumatizing. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000797351
All movies are alchemy and time is one of the ingredients that goes into the alchemy. You want the time to be right; you don't want to rush it. You need the right script, the right cast and the right feeling in the culture. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000804473
I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which is my hometown. In Los Alamos is, for people who don't know, a nuclear lab that built the atomic bomb. The only reason the town exists is to make nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, and that's still happening there. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000862982
With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. It's a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000870709
This is what I do for fun - brainstorm about monsters! -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000919474
In the 'Buffy' room, it was never about a plot twist, ever. It was always about, 'Tell the story, tell the characters, complicate their lives, make things get worse,' but we never worked backwards from the plot, and it was always a great lesson. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 000929517
The greatest villain of all time is The Joker - he always has been, and I don't know anyone who's not going to have Heath Ledger's performance burnt into their brains for the rest of their lives. -- Drew Goddard

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001030756
When Carpenter was shooting 'Vampires' in New Mexico when I was living there, I desperately tried to get a job working on that film, and I couldn't.

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001118102

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001170464
If you worry too much about anything, you end up making bad movies. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001180819

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001202823
That's the fun part about being a director. You get to say, 'Oh, now that I'm in charge, I can try and cast whoever I want.' They can always say no, but that's okay. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001251636
I can always tell when a filmmaker doesn't care about his or her characters; they just care about setting them up to kill them off. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001257092

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001431179
One of the things that's been nice about my career is that I've been able to do so many different things, and variety keeps your creative soul fulfilled. I'm constantly looking to find new things to do. It's just project to project for me. You never know where the next thing's going to come from. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001448417
I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001457997

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001550251
The logistics of blood is something that I didn't even understood as a first-time director. Not just actors and make-up, but once a set gets bloody, you don't un-blood it. Once something gets bloody, you either rebuild the set, or you just don't get the shot. -- Drew Goddard
Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001615284

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001723403

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001777095

Drew Goddard Quotes : pic 001783335
