Famous quotes by Joel Schumacher:

"I purposely did "8mm" because it was as far from a summer movie as you could get."

"When I was doing "8mm", my agents called me and said, "There's this hot script by Larry Cohen, and there's a bidding war for it. Fox is in the lead and if they get it, they want to do it with Mel Gibson and they want you to direct it.""

"With "Batman and Robin," I was opening toy stores in Sydney, Australia. I had awards for selling more "Batman" merchandise than any human being in the world."

"Don't you hear people saying things you can't believe they're saying?"

"The script was about 100 pages. I mean, we could have padded it if we wanted to. But I don't think that would make a better movie... .I mean, it's a guy in a phone booth."

"I don't want to tell your story because you're a insensitive, self-centered moron. I've told a lot of stories about young people, and I always feel there's hope."

"I was sadder for the actors than I was for me because when you do good work in this industry, you get more work. Colin got a whole career from it."

"This movie works, but it's pure luck."

"It barely opened anywhere! They didn't put any money behind it at all."

"No, I don't feel we got screwed because we got such a great reception. People still rave about it all the time."

"So we got there at 6 a.m. We'd be shooting by 6:45. We wouldn't break for lunch, we'd just pass food around all day. And we would just rock and roll 'til 4, then Matty Libatique, our great cinematographer, would say, "Outta light, guys" - and that was it."

"We deserved it. I mean, if you get a pummeling, you deserved it. But isn't it wonderful to remember a time that America was once so innocent that all we had to worry about was the next "Batman" movie?"
