Drew Goddard Quotes

American - Director | February 26, 1975 -

I think the thing I took most from game playing was just getting in the characters head. I took it really seriously. There's something about creating your character.

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. So my first job as a PA was on a CBS movie of the week that was shooting next door, and whenever I could, I would sneak over so I could watch.

If I had all the filmmakers that traumatized me when I was a little kid in this room, all I would say is, 'Thank you,' because they've made me who I am. As much as I say 'trauma,' it all comes from a place of love. The fact that I am feeling emotions at all based on a work is a wonderful thing, so I'm happy to be a part of that discussion.

Work Love I Am Happy Me Thank You

The movies I respond to are by guys like the Coen brothers and Edgar Wright, where it's hard to fit them into any one box.

Movies Hard Box Respond Where Like

Some of our best episodes of 'Buffy' were written over a weekend. You can really get in touch with your creative spirit when you're at your most desperate.

Best Creative Weekend You Spirit

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.

Good Quality Feel Budget You Enemy
