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

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

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

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

I don't really know how many films I've done, and I don't look at this as a race that I necessarily want to win. Nor is it a race that I want to stop running.

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.
