I don't really know how many films I've done, and I don't look at this as a race that I necessarily want to win. Nor is it a race that I want to stop running.

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 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.

Staying indoors daily will eventually make you sick.

When you go to your knees God will help you stand up to anything.

Fear appears from a false vision of reality.

I'm not afraid to admit my weaknesses.

Kemp-Roth was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate.

I'd rather work on my radio show, which no one hears but I put about eight hours of programming and writing into it for those 30 people who do tune in.

It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.

What SF can do better than anything else is show us the range of our possible futures, and what we can do to realize the good ones and avoid the nasty ones.
