We have to open our minds and be ready for the changes.

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

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

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.

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.

I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.

I'm an actor. Actors are supposed to act.
