Also, I plan to screw something up on every movie I do so that I can learn from my mistakes and become a better director with each project.
Richard King

And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge.
Richard King

Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong.
Richard King

Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?
Richard King

Directors who turn into big babies and shut out criticism stop learning.
Richard King

Each feature I make is my focus at that time.
Richard King

Everyone has an opinion, and the guy screaming for censorship may be the next guy to have his ideas cut off.
Richard King

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.
Richard King

I aspire to eventually be making my living by making movies.
Richard King

I did not go to film school.
Richard King


I have done some short pieces that are not horror.
Richard King

I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society.
Richard King

I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently.
Richard King

I never want to become arrogant and think I've made a flawless movie.
Richard King

I position everything else in my life around making movies.
Richard King

I think the act of condensing months or years of work down to a couple hours of entertainment is pretty wild and extremely rewarding.
Richard King

I think you get out of film school what you put into it. If you don't care about making movies, film school will do you no good.
Richard King

I'm not impressed by someone's degree... I'm impressed by them making movies.
Richard King

I've also directed, shot, and edited several music videos.
Richard King

If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist.
