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

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

All my old surfing injuries have kind of come back to haunt me.

I always liked the skinny punk girls; I even loved them before punk.

I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.

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.

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.
