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.

The process of creation goes on all the time. When I get through, I feel I know what the character will do in every situation. But the building up of the part is not mechanical or deliberate. It grows out of the text.

I'm hardly physically right for the hero parts, now am I?

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.

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

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.
