Shock Value Quotes

We have a slate of four films. From Karen Young - the USA bestselling author - we have Blood Bayou. Again, we’re relying on the story to tell itself and the characters tell it and not (relying on) shock value. It’s a suspenseful drama...The best way I can describe it is Pelican Brief meets Time to Kill Picture Quote #1

When I was three, my dad thought it would be hilarious to teach me swear words, then have me say them to his friends. They would laugh and laugh. I realize now the laugh was pure shock value, but it felt really good, and I’ve been chasing it ever since Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day-your body-can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It’s like carrying an art piece around with you all the time Picture Quote #1

That’s what you strive for - you strive to take your move to the next level. It’s about shock value, always shock value, but keeping it flavor and stylized and making it yours Picture Quote #1

Obscenities are too often used for shock value, as a kind of shorthand for real expression of emotion. You’ve got to scale down your monstrosities. A scream is not a discovery Picture Quote #1

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like the Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film Picture Quote #1

I don’t try to be completely calculating in everything I say and do, but there’s no way I’m going to talk. There’s no reason to. And that’s why I’m such a boring interview, because I don’t go for the shock value, or smartass answers Picture Quote #1

I’ve been on shows that go for shock value Picture Quote #1

You don’t need shock value things to make a movie successful Picture Quote #1

An artist should know art history. Shock value only lasts so long Picture Quote #1

Young kids should be doing music that has shock value. They’ll grow out of it Picture Quote #1

I’m not easily offended. I have a pretty high tolerance for raunchiness or shock value, so I’m the wrong person to use as a gauge Picture Quote #1

I don’t like the phrase shock value. Surprise is essential in comedy, and if people are shocked by what I consider merely surprising, then that’s their shock. But there is no joke without surprise Picture Quote #1

Now, some people do this for shock value. Shock is just another uptown word for surprise. Granted it has a different quality to it, but a joke is about surprising someone. I’m a great believer in context. You can joke about anything. I do like finding out where the line is drawn, deliberately crossing it and bringing some of them with me across the line, and having them be happy that I did Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more hackneyed than the liberal dogma that shock value confers automatic importance on an artwork Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been really dark, and drawn to darker humor. Nothing has been forced, and I don’t say anything for shock value Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1

My reasons for declaring a sexual preference had to do less with the pursuit of personal freedom than with the lust for pure shock value Picture Quote #1
