I've become so disgusted by how far to the right this country has gone that I wanted to make a statement about it. [...] They Live could be an Invasion of the Body Snatchers for today; rather than Communists-under-the-beds, the monsters would be unrestrained capitalists. The Other, meaning the creatures, are yuppies, and I don't think they've been portrayed that way before; they've been shown [in films like After Hours or Something Wild] as a kind of goofball part of us, but never as inhuman.

We tried to use real advertisements. [...] But it's a film that's anti-advertising; no one wanted to give their permission.
This is about a horror writer whose books are starting to affect the fans. And infect the fans, turn them into something else, into killers. If you think about it, that kind of echoes this ridiculous debate about television, about how it's turning all of our children into murderers. This is kind of a horror way of looking at that.
