The last time we had Freddy in reality was part two and Freddy sort of went out on his own.

I'm getting older now, and though I still surf well, it's hard for me to paddle in big surf.

I have some friends that just stick to the same criteria over and over again not realizing there are lots of other kinds of people and that may be what you like. People get in that mindset and put their blinders on.

Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream. Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story.

There's a lot of dark horror, and a lot of sci-fi fantasy that's great, but what gets hyped a lot the big stuff. The most expensive stuff gets hyped a lot, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but there's things that fall through the cracks.

I make a star's salary when I do horror, because I can still open a movie in Italy or Spain or Germany.

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