It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by kil...

(2006 quote on fame) When you reach a certain status in Hollywood, you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor. It`s a cult of personality. Who`s the It person this week? Who has the hot...

[on cult director Edward D. Wood Jr.] "Nobody had his style. That`s something I try to do in my films. You have your own kind of cryptic messages in there - cryptic things that most people wouldn`t understand but are important to you. Things that kind of ...
Tim Burton
I do a movie and I hope everybody gets to see it. I`m not somebody who only makes cult movies. Sometimes they become cult movies and that`s fine, but that`s not why I make movies. I would love to do a really good audience picture, but sometimes it just do...

[On being producer of the HBO documentary Children of God: Lost and Found (2007), which follows the rise of the Children of God cult] River Phoenix wasn`t an inspiration, or anything, he was just some boy who got overexposed by the media. I`m not making t...

I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you`re discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone wh...

It does seem like some of my films have become cult movies and have done very well in the long run. In several cases, they have proven themselves without any help at all.
Lance Henriksen
I didn`t grow up as child actor. I was fortunate to find this show with a small character that grew into this huge cult thing. I was like, "Let`s ride it." (New York Times, December 27, 2006)
David Boreanaz
What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it`s almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they`re taking it to the hilt.
Billie Joe Armstrong
We learned to take the long view, ... The initial reception to `Rounders` was mixed ... [but] over the last four years it has become a cult classic.
Charles Koppelman
We all knew the book well because it`s the cult book in Latin America. For me, this was a sacred territory. I would not have ventured into it by myself.
Walter Salles
This death cult has no reason and is beyond negotiation. This is what makes it so frightening. This is what causes so many to engage in a sort of mental diversion. They don`t want to confront this horror. So they rush off in search of more comprehensible ...
David Brooks
They just expected it to you know... Paul, Steve and I could have hired our own publicist, if we wanted to, but I kind of liked the way it was more of a cult thing and those that liked it, liked it, you know what I mean?
Amy Sedaris
The show I did in England catered to a broad range of people. I like that. I don`t want nouveau cult status, though I know we`ve got that sort of audience in the states.
Tracey Ullman
The more I learn and read about the 10th Muse i realize what a great fan base and cult following she has. I`m going to try to live up to the fantastic image of the 10th Muse!
Cindy Margolis
The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the `genius` of the personage, the greater the profit.
Alex Lopez Negrete
Singer-songwriter Dan Hicks has a devoted cult following, but for those who have never heard of him and his wry sense of humor, now is your chance. Time and again, Hicks is referred to as a true American original and we are happy to host this ice cool dad...
Tracy Miller
People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts, neglecting children, destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult.
