Jonathan Levine Quotations

Usually, the kills are almost Wile E. Coyote kind of things in horror movies.

It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.

I think that's the great thing about zombies, is, you know, going back to even 'Night of the Living Dead,' they've always been a tool for kind of holding up a mirror to us and showing us something about ourselves that we might not otherwise know.

I'm a writer and director. And the movie I've seen a million times is 'Coming Home,' directed by Hal Ashby and starring Jon Voight, Jane Fonda and Bruce Dern.

'Warm Bodies' was a more long-term thing; I had to write the script, who knew if it was every really going to happen, if I'd find the right actors, and so on, so I grabbed '50/50' because I just fell in love with it.

I was Paul Schrader's assistant for six months before I went to film school, and he's very much about knowing what's going to happen on every page before you even start writing dialogue - the entire plot and character arcs are mapped out.

I want the police to acknowledge that what they did was wrong. They need to explain to the community why they did this to me.

I was actually shooting 'Warm Bodies' on the day that '50/50' came out, which I don't recommend to other filmmakers because I was sort of a wreck. Actually, it was good for me, because I had work to do, so I couldn't obsess all day and be checking how '50/50' was doing!

Every charge they brought against me was bogus. The police don't like me and wanted me to leave town. I have done nothing but help the community.

I have a cameo in every movie. In '50/50,' I'm in the back of the bus.
