Keenen Ivory Wayans

“I throw it all in there, Kung Fu, blaxploitation, horror.”

“You just can't make any movie and it will be good now. This is a really a difficult time to be in films.”

“You do what it takes. It was on me to deliver.”

“You can kind of feel when things are going to work out.”

“There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.”

“I put the cameras on her and told her to be obnoxious as she could possibly could be. She was.”

“I put heavy emphasis on the characters.”

“All I need is a camera and I'll make things happen.”

“We do nods to Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible because they are popular with our fan base.”

“It's the teenage and university crowd, so we give them lots of sex jokes and gross humour.”

“This is really a difficult time to be in films.”

“It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.”

“Slot machines are like crack for old people.”

“I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.”

“Just making a good movie is hard to do.”

“We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.”

“We've seen so many films now, that you have to be on par with the best films that have preceded you. You just can't make any movie and it will be good.”

“I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.”

“I enjoy the character interplay. Sometimes the audience is not laughing, but smiling, and that is almost just as good because it keeps them ready to laugh.”

“I'm not on all the time. I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.”
