You know what's funny is, when I made 'Saw,' I got accused of being a fascist; when I made 'Insidious,' I got accused of being godless, and now I made the 'Conjuring' films, and I'm accused of being too much God.
Quote by -James Wan
Our culture today that we live in is getting so diverse, yet in Hollywood, there's not a lot of diversity.
Quote by -James Wan
There's a reason why Smellovision has never really taken off. And I think it's a good thing.
Quote by -James Wan
With 'The Conjuring,' I really wanted to create classical cinema-style film-making, pure cinema as it were.
Quote by -James Wan
It doesn't matter how big or small your film is: you still don't have enough money. You don't have enough time to shoot it.
Quote by -James Wan
The kind of filmmaker that I am, even my darker horror films generally are still very fun. And I think that's important for me and the kind of films I make.
Quote by -James Wan
The thing that ultimately pushed me more towards 'Aquaman' is I love the possibility of creating a whole new world. I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, incredible, magical kingdom.
Quote by -James Wan
When you're making a bigger movie, you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people.
Quote by -James Wan
As we all know, Aquaman is somewhat the butt of the joke in the superhero world.
Quote by -James Wan
I love the idea of being the underdog, coming in with a take on this underdog character and completely blow people's expectations away. Like, 'Oh, you thought he was going to be a wimpy character? No no no.'
Quote by -James Wan
I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way.
Quote by -James Wan
The key is to constantly keep the audience surprised. If they feel like something is going to happen, or they think from an educational standpoint that something is about to happen because of all the moving parts, it is your job to break that expectation and show the audience something different.
Quote by -James Wan
The great thing about the 'Fast and Furious' world is everything is up for speculation. Yes, anything is a possibility.
Quote by -James Wan
I guess I have a fascination with the idea of puppeteering. I think, in a lot of ways, directing is puppeteering. I guess I see a lot of analogies between what puppeteers and filmmakers do.
Quote by -James Wan
I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.
Quote by -James Wan
Whether it's a popcorn movie or some really intellectual sociopolitical movie, I think to some degree they're all influenced by the social climate that we're living in.
Quote by -James Wan
For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.
Quote by -James Wan
I wasn't delusional at all when I signed on to do 'Furious 7,' that it wasn't my creation. It's the seventh movie in a series, for goodness sake!
Quote by -James Wan
I love high concept movies, but they can only work if the source of inspiration is really human - if they're driven by pain and strong emotions. Once you connect the audience with that, then I swear you can take them on the craziest journey, and they'll come along.
Quote by -James Wan
Not many people realize this, but I'm a really squeamish guy. When I watch other horror films that are really over-the-top with their blood and guts, I cannot watch it.
Quote by -James Wan
I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.
Quote by -James Wan
I think that the first 'Saw' was really more of a psychological film about two people stuck in a room, and the traps and games that fans seem to embrace so much now were quite a small portion of the film.
Quote by -James Wan
The 'Saw' sequels went in a direction I wouldn't have gone in. With 'Insidious 2,' I wanted to push a potential franchise in the direction I thought it should go in.
Quote by -James Wan
I love to be scared in the safety of a movie theater. It is like a thrill ride; like a roller-coaster ride.
Quote by -James Wan
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
Quote by -James Wan
I think crafting a new, effective horror movie is not just about when night falls and things get scary. It's about setting a tone and mood that permeates throughout the entire movie. So even during the daytime, things are never quite safe-feeling.
Quote by -James Wan
I think a lot of the Disney cartoons are scary when you watch them at a young age.
Quote by -James Wan
Making a movie with people of all different ethnicity, all different skin color and different backgrounds, meant that the movie can literally play all around the world. It's not just a blanket whitewash film like most Hollywood films tend to be.
Quote by -James Wan
'Saw' really was like a student film for me; we expected it to go straight to video. I never expected anyone to see that film, and then it becomes one of the most successful horror franchises.
Quote by -James Wan
I believe in spirits. I believe in faith. I believe in spirituality. I believe in aliens as well.
Quote by -James Wan
I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, incredible, magical kingdom.
Quote by -James Wan
There are expectations with sequels, and people want them to be bigger and better than the prequel.
Quote by -James Wan
I always say it's very difficult when you're tackling something like 'Spider-Man' or 'Batman' that has been done so many times before.
Quote by -James Wan
I can make any kind of movies. I can put up with any kind of situation. And I can tackle them.
Quote by -James Wan
I always felt that what is scary is actually hearing someone tell you what they think they see. That sense of invisibility makes things a lot scarier, since your imagination tends to fill in the gaps.
Quote by -James Wan
We think craft is important, and the irony has always been that horror may be disregarded by critics, but often they are the best-made movies you're going to find in terms of craft. You can't scare people if they see the seams.
