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

What can I tell you about things like Circus of Horrors except that I get killed by the bear?

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.

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 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.

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

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.
