I`m not just somebody shuffling around in a monster suit. I`m a kind of puppeteer from the inside who is attempting through arm and body movements to give the creatures I play a sense of personality.

It was always very strange for me when I was young and would meet someone who geniunely seemed to be afraid of me. They couldn`t separate me from the monster I became in a movie. You wouldn`t believe how often people ask me to make my head spin around.
Linda Blair
[when asked how he designed each unstoppable season villain to be unique and threatening:] "We got into a problem with that. We kept saying, "This monster can`t be killed." It`s like, "Well, have you used violence?" It was never about the unstoppableness....
Joss Whedon
I grew up watching sci-fi and monster movies like I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) and all those creepy old Vincent Price horror movies. They made a huge impression on me and I think that`s what Independence Day (1996) is going to do for a whole generation...
Jeff Goldblum
In American films, this period of life is not treated seriously. You have either the cute and cuddly Disney kid or the evil devil monster. For me it`s fertile territory - middle class kids growing up in the suburbs.
Todd Solondz
People look at me as if I were some sort of monster, but I can`t think why. In my macabre pictures, I have either been a monster-maker or a monster-destroyer, but never a monster. Actually, I`m a gentle fellow. Never harmed a fly. I love animals, and when...

Peter Cushing
[on how he was cast as the monster in "The Curse of Frankenstein"] I was asked to play the creature chiefly because of my size and height which had effectively kept me out of many pictures I might have appeared in during the preceding ten years. Most Brit...
Christopher Lee
[in 1936, on his appeal to children, who empathized with the monster] I don`t really scare them any more than do Jungle Jim, Dan Dunn, Tarzan, and the other heroes of the comic sections.
Boris Karloff
Peter Sellers became a monster. He just got bored with the part [Inspector Clouseau] and became angry, sullen and unprofessional. He wouldn`t show up for work and he began looking for anyone and everyone to blame, never for a moment stopping to see whethe...
Blake Edwards
Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally. Our starting point was Godzilla - the original movie was released less than 10 years after Hiroshima, and it`s a classic in Japan. It came out at the sa...
Matt Reeves
On getting the role of "Reagan MacNeil" in The Exorcist (1973): "I wanted to be a princess. I wanted to be in Disney movies, I wanted to be in "Lassie", I wanted to be in "Flipper", I didn`t want to be a monster".
Linda Blair
One of my film heroes is Peter Weir, who made Fearless (1993) but also made Green Card (1990). Ang Lee makes a western, he makes a Seventies psycho movie, a costume drama and a monster movie. I wanted to be like that. I finished this in October and I have...
Paul Bettany
[On Party Monster (2003)`s script]: When I was first sent the script, I threw it in the garbage like I did with every other script I was sent at the time. I was basically retired.
Macaulay Culkin
I have a lot of affection for Norman Bates and a lot of sympathy. So does the audience, I think. He`s not just a monster. He`s tortured. The real secret of the "Psycho" movies is that they`re tragedies first and horror movies second.
Anthony Perkins
It is psychologically unsettling. But I think we`ve made something more sophisticated than just a slasher movie, because of the family drama in it. The Fly (1986) could have been something else (meaning a cheap monster movie). But I think we raised that t...
Jeff Goldblum
I think we all had that as a concern. That monster there is like a producer`s dream, isn`t it? Any one of us could get bumped off at any time and we`re all aware of it. It keeps you on your toes. - on the potential short life-span of characters on "Lost"
