Matt Reeves Quotes

I’m a first-time father, and it was amazing to me to learn that my son could actually use sign language before the spoken word. I could see this intelligence in his eyes before he could speak: how he could understand what was going on around him and was frustrated by that Picture Quote #1

I thought this was the most incredible opportunity. Because ‘Planet Of The Apes,’ aside from the fantasy element of talking apes, is such an amazing franchise, because under the surface of that genre, you’re actually looking at human nature Picture Quote #1

There’s tremendous shame with being bullied. I think there’s a level at which you think that there’s a reason that you’re being singled out, that you’re being chosen Picture Quote #1

Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally. Our starting point was ‘Godzilla’ - the original movie was released less than 10 years after Hiroshima, and it’s a classic in Japan Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was always mistaken for a girl. Before you reach that age where your sexuality starts to display itself, kids can look very androgynous, and I guess I leaned more toward the feminine. All those things were very hard, growing up, because you’re trying to create an identity, and you’re feeling shameful about the one that you’re making Picture Quote #1

I discovered the fun of genre is... you get to explore your fears, and you get to use the metaphor of the genre - whether it’s a giant monster or a... 12-year-old vampire. Whatever it is, you can sink something underneath the surface and make a personal film under the guise of great fun romp Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for a reason to say no when I’m approached about a big studio tentpole because your fear is will you be consumed into the anonymous machine, and it will suck out any specificity and point of view that you might hope to express Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, people don’t think of ‘Cloverfield’ as being restrained because it’s a handycam movie, but the only reason it’s a handycam movie is because that was supposed to be the reality of the situation Picture Quote #1

I never would have guessed I would be making science fiction and horror films Picture Quote #1

My main interest in being a director, and the most important thing to me, is that world with the actors Picture Quote #1
