“As filmmakers, the Western is a historic, cool thing to be a part of once in your life.” Quote by Ti West
“In a traditional Western there's always the bravado, and it's almost like they're winking that they know they're in a Western - "Look how good I can spin my gun." In real life, when the bad guy kills somebody, or they're bad guy friend gets killed, they're upset, too, which is not typical in Westerns.” RealGuyGunWesternReal LifeUpset Author:Ti West
“You get to actually make your movie. As a filmmaker, that's the dream. That's why you get up in the morning, to be able to do that. You feel constrained sometimes, but if the movie makes sense in the budget realm, then it isn't hard.” SometimesDreamMorningMake SenseFilmmakerGet Real Author:Ti West
“When you raise the budget, you make creative compromises. The higher the budget goes, the more cuts in your movie happen. When people talk about how movies are watered down, that's a direct reflection of money and budget. The less money you spend; the more risks you can take. That doesn't mean it will be successful, but at least you can try different stuff. The higher your budget is, the less you can do that.” PeopleTryingMeanDifferentCreativeSuccessfulCuttingRiskReflectionDirectCompromiseBeing Successful Author:Jason Blum
“The bigger the movie is, the more agendas everybody has. It becomes more of a job for everyone, but on these small movies, you're making them because you want to make them. You're there because you want to do it. When you make a small movie, the one thing you have is that everyone is unified. That's what you need. You want everybody to want to be there and be a part of the project. If you can cultivate that, everyone works hard for it.” Hard Work Author:Timothy West
“The cool thing about making a Western is that people want to be in them. You rarely get the opportunity. With horror movies you are always trying to convince them. People in horror are always worried it's going to be this schlocky thing, and you're always trying to convince them that it's not. With Westerns, people immediately react with, "Oh, I've always wanted to do one."” PeopleTryingOpportunityHorrorWesternWorriedConvince Author:Timothy West
“There's nothing stopping you from making movies. You can always make and try different things.” TryingDifferent Author:Ti West
“Coming back into television, I was very, very wary about committing to anything that could potentially take a long time. I don't mind movies, but I was nervous of television.” MindLongNervous Author:Samantha Morton
“I had literally the time of my life, and thought, "Wow. Television doesn't seem to be as crazy as it was when I was a kid." The dream for me was always to be in the movies, you know. But when this came along, I read the first script and I thought, "Oh, my gosh. This is incredible."” DreamKidsCrazyIncrediblesOh My Gosh Author:Samantha Morton
“I've been acting since I was a child, and though this was different in a way, I think I've been very blessed. The majority of the sets I've been on have been very inclusive and very empowering, and I've often chosen to work with people that sing from the same song sheet.” PeopleThinkingChildrenDifferentSongActingBlessedChosenEmpowering Author:Samantha Morton
“There are brothels now that are run a certain way, and women make educated choices to become part of the sex industry. Their health is taken care of, and their children can be put through school. But, sadly, there's the underbelly of that, and I think that back then women did hold a lot more power in that regard.” ThinkingChildrenCareRunningSchoolChoicesTakenEducated Author:Samantha Morton
