“Humor is more so. For this, there's definitely moments that I think, "I know this part is really funny and I want to see people laugh." And they do and you go, "Yesss." That's really satisfying, because I'm so proud of the performances in the movie and everybody worked so hard.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantHardMomentsLaughingProudPerformancesSatisfying Author:Ti West
“All those awkward moments - that's on the cast for doing such an amazing job. I think it was funny on the page, but when they did it, you definitely went, "Oh!" Watching it with a crowd that, like you said, was not expecting it to be funny, but then genuinely finding it funny, is totally a credit to their performances.” ThinkingSaidMomentsJobsLike YouFindingsPagesPerformancesCastsCrowdsCreditExpectingAwkwardAmazing Job Author:Ti West
“From a performance standpoint, it just gives [actors] so much - I had such a great cast [ in Valley of Violence] - and it gives them the ability to go wild with it and to have performances that are memorable.” GivingActorsAbilityViolencePerformancesCastsMemorableValleysStandpoint Author:Ti West

“I wrote [Valley of Violence] entirely with James Ransone in mind. I get such a joy out of watching his performance and seeing people watch this. He's so great. The bravado thing and the foolishness, he does them both so well. It's weird because he's so hateable in the movie, but in the end, you're also going, "I feel bad for him." That's hard to do. It's hard to do that to where you're like, "This guy's the worst, but I know why he's the worst, so it's a shame this is happening." That's the whole thing.” PeopleKnowsFeelsMindWellsDoeEndsHardWholeJoyGuyWatchesViolenceSeeingWorstHappeningsPerformancesShameValleysFoolishnessThis GuyBravado Author:Ti West
