First of all, I was a wrestling fan when I was young. Even when I figured out what wrestling was, I was still a fan.

Halloween put me on the map, and I'm very sad to hear of his death.

Film buffs who don't live in Hollywood have a fantasy about what it's like to be a director. Movies and the people who make movies have such glamour associated with them. But the truth is, it's not like that. It's very different. It's hard work.

I never got in this business, in cinema, to make horror movies. They arrived on my doorstep and I got typecast. Which was fine, I enjoy it, but I got into this business to make westerns. And the kind of westerns I used to see, they died. So that didn't work out.

Remakes, in general, are a result of necessity being the mother of invention. They can't open movies consistently and break through the advertising clutter that's out there.

I'm always involved with casting my movies. I have final word on it.

I can play just about any keyboard but I can't read or write a note.
