"Roger Corman proved how much a talented director with a motivated, professional cast and crew could do with no budget and no schedule to speak of. Ed Wood proved how much a completely talentless hack, with a cast and crew of non-actors, flakes, and oddballs, could do with no budget and no schedule to speak of."
— Paul Elliott and Chris W. McCubbin, GURPS Atomic Horror
"If we're lucky, everybody's got a little Ed Wood in them."
— Emily Summerlin, First Time Film Club reaction to Ed Wood (1994).
