“To me, the zombies have always just been zombies. They’ve always been a cigar. When I first made Night of the Living Dead, it got analyzed and overanalyzed way out of proportion. The zombies were written about as if they represented Nixon’s Silent Majority or whatever. But I never thought about it that way. My stories are about humans and how they react, or fail to react, or react stupidly. I’m pointing the finger at us, not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible.”

“Is that about farting zombies?”

“I love zombies. If any monster could Riverdance, it would be zombies.”

“Just as people in zombie apocalypses seem never to have seen a zombie apocalypse movie, so people in novels about the pioneering days of time travel never seem to have read novels on the subject.”

“Who would have ever thought I'd be afraid of a zombie, any kind of zombie? Nicely ironic that.”

“It's the same old theme
Since nineteen-sixteen
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh”

“This is the part in the movie where that guy says, "Zombies? What zombies?" just before they eat his brains. I don't want to be that guy.”

“Bubba there zombies….. and there trying to eat me!"
-Nick Gautier”

“I am a conservative, but I am not a zombie.”

“Are zombies possible? They're not just possible, they're actual. We're all zombies.* Nobody is conscious — not in the systematically mysterious way that supports such doctrines as epiphenomenalism.

*It would be an act of desperate intellectual dishonesty to quote this assertion out of context!”
