Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I had a couple of movies that I was passionately involved with that I could never get made. 'Richard Pryor,' I wrote for - gosh - over a year. That was close to getting made for two-and-a-half years after that. We're still pushing it, you know. It is weird. Suddenly you wake up and it's like, 'God, five years have gone by.'

If you look at anybody who's had along career, if you look at the choices they've made - even if the movies haven't worked - they've always worked with great filmmakers. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
No, 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that, I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made, I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done, even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
