I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.

People actually were worried that I was going to get stereotyped as a monster after Freddy, but my God, I got stereotyped as white trash for years, the best friend for years, the redneck for years, the nerd for years and let me tell you...it's better to be a monster than to be a nerd.

Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.

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

I love fire. I just think it's hypnotic and great, but I've got to tell you - on a sound stage, that stuff scares me.

We used to take girls to scary movies all the time, I don't know about you, but that was the place we would go for dates.

I've watched people who were better actors than me disappear, and they're selling insurance now.
