At the end of the first Halloween, when I shot 6 bullets into Michael Myers, John Carpenter said, Let's get a shot of you looking out of the window and seeing no one lying there.

What can I tell you about things like Circus of Horrors except that I get killed by the bear?

Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.

At this point in my career, it doesn't bother me much that I'm probably hopelessly typecast. I like to work, and horror films definitely keep me working.

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

The idea of dying and coming back is what makes the Halloween films work.

I think people have a tendency to read into more than there is.

I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.

I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

I'm the sort of actor who likes to talk about what we're going to do.

I am so wise I had my mouth sewn shut.

You can tell a really wonderful quote by the fact that it's attributed to a whole raft of wits.

The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchral of all his other passions, as they successively decay.

I like anything Jennifer Lawrence is in. She's so beautiful.

You can be the coldest rapper, but if you're not known, you're nobody.

I never apologize for the truth. And the truth here is that racists come in many different colors.

Autobiographies, for the most part, to me, are like writing a love letter to yourself.

There is so much that is fake about our society. My generation is craving something that is real, honest and true. The Message is straight up! It's modern, relevant, and direct.

Measure what is important, don't make important what you can measure

It's great meeting children because you never know what they will say.
