It's not a monster movie. It's a supernatural thriller.
Ed Wood

Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.
Ed Wood

One is always considered mad, when one discovers something that others cannot grasp.
Ed Wood

Really? Worst film you ever saw. Well, my next one will be better. Hello. Hello.
Ed Wood

This story's gonna grab people. It's about this guy, he's crazy about this girl, but he likes to wear dresses. Should he tell her? Should he not tell her? He's torn, Georgie. This is drama.
Ed Wood

We are going to finish this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision.
Ed Wood

We shot ten minutes of the movie, and now we're looking for completion funds.
Ed Wood

Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?
Ed Wood

What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief?
Ed Wood


Why if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery.
Ed Wood

Yes, but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you've got something.
