He started many of us over the years.
He was a legend.
May he rest in peace.
Roger Corman was my very first boss, my lifetime mentor and my hero.
Roger was one of the greatest visionaries in the history of cinema.
Working with Roger in The Wild Angels was a highlight of my life.
He was a such a lovely man.

I am saddened to learn of Roger Cormans passing.
He was a wonderful director/producer and I count myself lucky to have been able to work with him.
A great movie maker and mentor.
When I was 23 he gave me my 1st shot at directing.
He launched many careers & quietly lead our industry in important ways.
He remained sharp, interested and active even at 98.
Grateful to have known him.https://t.co/z4jT6ltuAj
Roger Corman gave me one of my first jobs in Hollywood.
Smiling because he’d gotten away with it.
Don’t you know this will cost me SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS to make!
Modern American cinema begins with Roger Corman.
Without him we would not have Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdanovich, Nicholson, Demme and countless others.
It was my privilege to know him.He was a great friend.
He shaped my childhood with science fiction movies and Edgar Allen Poe epics.
I’ll miss you, Roger.
