Bloomberg.com has posted a short interview with Roger Corman, the infamous director and producer behind way more films than I’m going to go into here. The interviewer picks Corman’s brain on horror’s cyclical appeal, old age and developing a good work ethic, and the guy shows he still has it in spades.

The strategy was to make the best possible film for the money. I’ve seen so many people slough off low-budget films. You cannot do that. When Jonathan Demme did his first film, which was for us, it was a woman-in-prison picture. He said to me, “I’m going to make the best woman-in-prison picture ever made.” That’s the attitude that you must have.

“I’m going to make the best woman-in-prison picture ever made” is going to be my new positive affirmation. Go large or go home, man.
