“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
“Tommy Nohilly, who plays Tubby [ Valley of Violence], he came down to see the movie for the first time and I was like, "You've got to come just to see people react to your [big scene]." I knew that would go well, but it's satisfying to me when he's sitting there and it actually does.” PeopleFirstsWellsDoePlayBigsViolenceLike YouSceneSittingFirst TimeValleysSatisfying Author:Ti West
“I'd been all hyped about it, I was like, "Please come," and to have that and know Tommy Nohilly is probably going like, "This is cool," it makes me feel good.” KnowsFeelsPleaseFeel Good Author:Ti West
“The movie [ The Innkeepers] is in no way a comedy, but I would put some of the funny scenes up against some of the funnier comedies this year. I think it's genuinely really funny, but it's out of the gallows.” ThinkingWayYearsComedySceneGallows Author:Ti West
“That's what's interesting about people. It can be funny, but when [John] Travolta got there and did [comic moments] you're like, "Oh! This is really funny." Or when Karen [Gillan] and Taissa [Farmiga] do something, I'm like, "This came out so much funnier."” PeopleMomentsInterestingComic 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
“I did the movie [Valley of Violence] from two perspectives. You're with Ethan [Hawke] the whole movie, but for the first half, you're really with Ethan. For the second half, you're with him, but also you're with the bad guys because he kind of becomes the bad guy. No one's really good in the movie.” FirstsKindTwoWholeGuyHalfViolencePerspectiveValleysBad Guys Author:Ti West
“The second half [of Valley of Violence], you're with the guys that you should hate, but when you start seeing what their real lives are, you're like, "I do hate you, but at the same time, all right - maybe take it down a notch." The complications of all that are what's so interesting to me, those esoteric details - that's what people will hopefully take away from the movie.” PeopleShouldRealGuyHateInterestingHalfViolenceSeeingDetailsReal LifeHopefullyValleysHate YouComplicationEsotericNotches Author:Ti West
“It's not the plot [of Valley of Violence] - the plot is the reason to get all these things to happen, all these character moments to happen. It was always meant to have these two perspectives.” TwoReasonMomentsCharacterHappensViolencePerspectivePlotValleys Author:Ti West
