I do a lot of stuff in my career, but I like to keep a hand in horror.

I'm kind of like a combination of a red herring and a fake-out.

In a great horror movie, you've gotta have some character development and you've gotta set some of your people up and you've gotta have a little back story going. You've gotta take that time for exposition.

Once you have a history together, it's just another love for life. Everything is easier. It is just easier to live.

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.

Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh.

American Horror Story on cable now, it is terrific. There has to be room to re-invent.
