'The Room' is relationships. The room is you and me and everyone in America. That's basically what 'The Room' is.
— Tommy Wiseau
I like vampires.
I am pro-expression. I am pro - you know, as long as you don't hurt anyone.
When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera.
As a director, it's my job to provoke, and when people decided 'The Room' be called a phenomenon, or whatever you call it, it's fine with me.
I'm going to do more movies and travel.
Express yourself, don't hurt yourself.
I like a lot of classic movies, like, for example, 'Citizen Kane', James Dean movies, etc, etc.
We have many Lisas, Marks, Dennys, Johnnys, and other characters from 'The Room' in America and in the entire world.
My take on it, like a filmmaker or actor, is if you have much more colors within your creation, eventually people will appreciate what you're doing, and the other stuff is secondary, like critiques or even awards or anything else, as long as people enjoy it.
I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.
I'm not here to criticize anyone.
You cannot have the drama without comedy.
As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.
When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.
I am pro-freedom.
I'm satisfied with the way 'The Room' turned out, and I don't want to change anything.
All topics, issues, and subjects in 'The Room' add to the depth of the characters in the movie, and they are equally important.
I always say that you don't have to like 'The Room', but you will discover something - maybe a tiny little thing - and say, 'Wait a minute, maybe I want to see more.'
I want to be always actor.
I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.
When people sometimes misquote me, I don't know if they understand what I'm saying.
I'm not a god, I'm just a simple guy.
I inspire myself.
My background is in psychology and I'm also a stage actor. That's my background.
As a director, I have to feel realism from actors, and they can't be plastic.
