Dick Miller's Quotes

  • [on why movies he made 50 years ago still hold up] I wish I knew. It's funny, looking at a picture that's 50 years old and seeing that it hasn't lost any of the--what's the word?--magic. They had magic. They were cheap. They were inexpensive to make, but they've held up for 50 years.
  • [on attending film conventions] It's kind of thrilling in my old age to have something. It's a thrill. Everybody asks these questions. They bring up pictures that you've done and that you've forgotten. I don't remember half the pictures that they mention anyway. But it's a fun thing, being at these conventions.
