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 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.

John and I had a few meetings about what direction the sequel should take. I made some real insane suggestions. True to what you'd expect, he ignored them all and just picked up Halloween II where the original left off.

I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.

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

I am not one of those actors who believes he has to live the part he is playing. I can turn it on and off.

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