I do think the story in Halloween 5 is a bit stupid, and there's a lot more blood. They're obviously going to take the Halloween series in a different direction.

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?

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

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.

Look in your disappointments for the resolve to transform your experiences into solutions.

It's an unfortunate fact that I'm easily discouraged. But the fortunate truth is I'm stubborn as hell and near impossible to sway in my resolve.

I'd like to widen my education. I'd definitely like to widen my film range. I mean, I'd love to do some theater.

Mankind, why do ye set your hearts on things That, of necessity, may not be shared?

Glory to Women! They weave and entwine heavenly roses into an earthly life.

I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for...

So, I'm going to go over on Angel. Joss is just going to find a way to keep me bleaching my hair, which is fine.

I'm obsessed with shoes. I must have hundreds of pairs...That reminds me- I need to go shopping!

No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
