Ernest R. Dickerson at an event for Never Die Alone (2004)

Quotes

Ernest R. Dickerson

Edit
  • (About his movie 'Demon Knight): I've always enjoyed films that did a bit of genre-blending and I thought the story for Demon Knight did that perfectly. It was the perfect storm of horror, humor, thrills, had some mystery to it and a lot of emotion so I immediately knew this was going to be a very atypical horror movie to be involved with.
  • I've been fortunate enough that the rappers that I have worked with have all taken their work very seriously. I first worked with Tupac on my first film, but that was before he was really known. Then Ice-T came very correct. And Snoop Dogg in Bones took his role very seriously and DMX took his role very seriously. I think, to me, if the person comes to the project really wanting to act or really wanting to create a character and is willing to put in the time and work to do that.
  • [About the 'horror' genre]: I always loved the genre, and been very serious about it, I can never understand why critical voices didn't give it its proper place in literature and cinema, because it has produced some of the best we ever had.
  • I figure I'll probably die in the director's chair. One day I'll say cut, and suddenly just fall out of my chair and die or something.
