Wes Craven

“I never went to film school, so I never had the chance to be rejected.”

“I learned to take the first job that you have in the business that you want to get into. It doesn't matter what that job is, you get your foot in the door.”

“Some people ask why people would go into a dark room to be scared. I say they are already scared, and they need to have that fear manipulated and massaged. I think of horror movies as the disturbed dreams of a society.”

“I come from a blue-collar family, and I'm just glad for the work.”
