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

The first Halloween was very well made. The second one was also well made, though I didn't like it as well as the first one. The third one had nothing to do with the series at all and perhaps shouldn't have been made at all.

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

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.

The process of building a part doesn't really stop.

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.
