| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Something I'm often asked at conventions is "What do you take to see this stuff?" and I don't! I just use my natural abilities. |
| 2 | People who've been good at this stuff are often Brits, and I see myself as continuing that tradition. |
| 3 | I used to think that you'd open the door and there was Narnia. Increasingly, I think it's all around us. |
| 4 | Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion. |
| 5 | 'Underworld' was my first filmed book. I think there are about seven of my lines in it. |
| 6 | Neil Gaiman is a star. He constructs stories like some demented cook might make a wedding cake, building layer upon layer, including all kinds of sweet and sour in the mix. |
| 7 | I remember when I watched Hellraiser (1987) with my mother. She cried when she saw my name in the opening credits and I had to tell her that that was the happiest she was going to be for the next two hours. |
| 8 | Pinhead, who doesn't do a decent, nice thing through eight movies still manages to receive fan mail from women who would like to bear his children |
| 9 | Most 'Horror' movies nowadays aren't horror movies. They don't strike me as being horrific. That's why I am very careful when using the word 'Horror' to describe something |
| 10 | I firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain. |
| 11 | Some people think that horror films are some sort of second class filmmaking, and the only way to bypass that thinking is being proud of the fact that we do it. |
| 12 | I don't take accusations of selling out lightly. |
| 13 | All I've ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night. |
