Ruben Fleischer

“I get really excited thinking about being in the world without a lot of people.”

“If you've loved a girl your entire life and you've been afraid to tell her, don't wait because you never know what might happen.”

“You know, the comedic and horror thing was the key to 'Zombieland,' which is a comedy first.”

“I feel like there's a true spirit of individuality in Portland that's inherent to the place.”

“'The Dark Knight' does such a great job of delivering an intense, action-packed film that didn't pull any punches.”

“I just want to make sure whatever I take on, I can deliver.”

“I come from music videos and commercials, where style is a big part of the whole world. I've always tried to add that to whatever I'm doing.”

“It was fun playing with those jumps and the flashbacks in 'Zombieland,' but I don't think you need it to make a good movie. It's fun to just do a more straightforward one.”

“Some time after 'Gangster Squad,' after I'd made a couple other movies, I was like, 'In retrospect that 'Zombieland' experience was about as good as it can get, both between the cast and the world of the movie and the way it was received.' I was like, 'We should probably do another 'Zombieland.'”
