Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.

At the end of the first Halloween, when I shot 6 bullets into Michael Myers, John Carpenter said, Let's get a shot of you looking out of the window and seeing no one lying there.

What can I tell you about things like Circus of Horrors except that I get killed by the bear?

At this point in my career, it doesn't bother me much that I'm probably hopelessly typecast. I like to work, and horror films definitely keep me working.

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

The idea of dying and coming back is what makes the Halloween films work.

I think people have a tendency to read into more than there is.

I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.

I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

I'm the sort of actor who likes to talk about what we're going to do.

Consciousness has evolved biologically and can therefore be explained biologically.

It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.

The hard truth is that sometimes we need to lie to ourselves to continue to live

A healthy company is a group of people well aligned for the same purpose propelled by the same values

Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.

... reason accepts no commandments.

There will always be something to strive for. My hope is for the heart to strive forever.

All complaining comes from pride.

When a monster stopped behaving like a monster, did it stop being a monster? Did it become something else?

A psychopath can tell what you're thinking but what they don't do is feel what you feel. These are people without a conscience.
