I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.

If you don't invest in the characters, you don't care if they get killed. It's more fun if you know them.

People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.

When I was 9, I went to a birthday party. We were supposed to see a cowboy movie, but the programming got screwed up and we saw 'The Bad Seed' instead. Horrifying. For years I was frightened of girls with pigtails.

Whats great about Freddy in this is when he gets to comment and manipulate the back stories and the fears of the characters - especially with Jason.

I don't choose roles. I go where I'm wanted.

I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.
