I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.

I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.

To me, the zombies have always just been zombies. They've always been a cigar. When I first made 'Night of the Living Dead,' it got analyzed and overanalyzed way out of proportion. The zombies were written about as if they represented Nixon's Silent Majority or whatever. But I never thought about it that way.

I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!

Zombies are always moving fast in video games. It makes sense if you think about it. Those games are all about hand-eye coordination and how quickly can you get them before they get you.

I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
