“White Zombie was a bunch of kids with the worst equipment playing in a basement. But that is what is so great about it. There is no reason to think that you can't do it.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“You just have to do the thing that you feel is true to your vision, and then the audience will make the decision. But as soon as you feel like you're creating a product to just cater to what you think they want, it never works. It always feels phony. And the audience can tell immediately.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I understand why some kid in his bedroom in Wisconsin thinks downloading songs couldn't hurt anyone. True fans will buy the CD or go see the movie after downloading, but to say it doesn't affect anyone - come on.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“Sometimes things just aren't of their time, and they take a minute to catch on, or they find an audience later. Sometimes bizarre little films are the ones that everyone remembers later. With most big major blockbusters, people will have already forgotten about it two weeks after it came out.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first.”
-- Rob Zombie -

-- Rob Zombie -

-- Rob Zombie -
“My goal is to keep making films and grow as a film maker; that's always my goal.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“[Writing scripts] I'm not looking to jump in and make super mainstream movies. I still like to make movies that I like to see.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“You might like it as a joke or because you liked it then, but there isn't a whole new generation discovering Wham!.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I'm sick of remakes, how about something different. That's the thing - people always come to me and are like 'what do you want to remake, we know we can get that greenlight, what do you want to make?' I don't want to remake a g-d damn focking think.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“Growing up, I had the weird fantasy list: I wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. You have to have almost psychotic drive, because you're going to have years of failure.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I'm not a big fan of remakes. And even if they are good, they're still not as good as the original, so what's the point?”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I think it is good escapist entertainment even though it's bad.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“People would always say horror movies always thrive during times of war; that's just what people would say. And I don't know if they thrived during World War II or Vietnam, but I thought that's kind of strange, why would that happen. I don't know if people rearrange their priorities; in good times, they freak out and start pointing the fingers at video games and TV, but when horrible things are happening in the world, it [horror movie] just seems a little ridiculous.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I like being organized and super particular.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I guess I get enough real life, in real life, so that's why I like things that are more extreme.”
-- Rob Zombie -

-- Rob Zombie -
“I try to stay friends with everybody because you might go back and work with somebody who you had a horrible experience with and it could be great the next time. You never know which way it's going to go, never say never.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“When I watch a movie, I don't make a sound or move. The more I'm into the movie, the more bored I look.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I'm psychotically involved in every tiny little aspect. That's just the way I've been about everything my whole life.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“Sometimes I feel like people don't even know how to react in some situations because of online culture. Since many things are online, you might not react to something that is happening live.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I know when something is done and when it isn't. There's been times working on movies when they [moviemakers] lock in a release date and so you're stuck to that schedule. But sometimes you're still editing and you feel like you're not really done, but they're sort of releasing the movie anyway - that's kind of depressing.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“In the US everybody is about what's new and what's next and they don't really build a real loyalty as much as in Europe - if you were ever good and they liked you, they will treat it with the respect that it still matters.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I always liked doing all sorts of different things. As a kid growing up, I was always drawing and painting - always doing art. But I also loved movies and music, so as I started doing everything, I liked every aspect. It's not really that I am a control freak; it's just that is what I love.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“There are always tons of names on a movie of people that didn't actually do anything on that film. I feel bad for the people that busted their ***** because they get the same credit as someone who did nothing. It's kind of a weird thing.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“I didn't grow up in a creative environment. It was very boring town, boring everything. You go to school and you basically hate all the other kids because you don't understand them or what it's all about. At the same time I'm happy for that because I became very withdrawn and when you become withdrawn you develop your own bizarre-o personality.”
-- Rob Zombie -
“Even a low-budget film costs way more money than a high-priced record. So, it's mo' money, mo' problems. When you have more money, it just creates more people trying to get involved and you have more trouble.”
-- Rob Zombie
