People who have basically quit acting because they were sick of it, because they were tired of playing the grandma with one line. He keeps saying to me, 'You made me love acting again.' So many actors have said that to me, like Judy Geeson or Meg Foster. I like unconventional actors, like Richard Brake, who I thought was great even before working with him. I mean, it would be like if you do a Western and people are like, 'Let's talk about the horses.' That's not really the point of the movie.Īnd I love actors and I love making them do things.

Most times I do an interview, all they want to talk about is the gore, and to me that's the least interesting aspect. Rob Zombie: Yeah, I think what always makes people miss it is the fact that I generally do genre films. I was like, 'Shit, that's what he's been doing all these years.' And a lot of people have missed that point over the years. That opening monologue with Richard, you give people space to find those moments, and I don't think I really appreciated it until last night. I don't think people recognize that enough. One thing, Rob, that really struck me last night was how you are very much an actor's director. I wanted to make sure there was some transition where she kind of turns and she's totally strong and going to be able to take control of the situation. Sheri Moon Zombie: Yeah, and that was thought out. The film’s biggest arc is with that character and you see it happen slowly.

Rob Zombie: I love that character because if you think of Charly at the beginning of the movie and the end of the movie, it's a different person. I'm so glad that it worked out that way because it’s a really great moment. It felt like it was right out of a Western. I thought Charly was just a lot of fun in 31, and while I'm not going to ruin anything for anybody, that final scene with Richard was so great. Not only is it really cool to see your evolution as a director over the years, Rob, but it's also really cool to see you, Sheri, change so much throughout all these different films too. Thanks for chatting today guys and congrats on the movie, too.
