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

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.

Loomis has always felt himself responsible for the fact that he did not stop Michael when he first murdered his sister, and so he's got that guilt to live with.

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.

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?

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.
