More quotes by Donald Pleasence
I'm hardly physically right for the hero parts, now am I?
Donald Pleasence
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.
Donald Pleasence
The idea of dying and coming back is what makes the Halloween films work.
Donald Pleasence
It's hard to play a continuing character like Loomis for nearly 11 years and simply wash your hands of him. It seems a pity.
Donald Pleasence
All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.
Donald Pleasence
The first Halloween was very well made. The second one was also well made, though I didn't like it as well as the first one. The third one had nothing to do with the series at all and perhaps shouldn't have been made at all.
Donald Pleasence
I do think the story in Halloween 5 is a bit stupid, and there's a lot more blood. They're obviously going to take the Halloween series in a different direction.
Donald Pleasence
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.
Donald Pleasence
What can I tell you about things like Circus of Horrors except that I get killed by the bear?
Donald Pleasence
I think people have a tendency to read into more than there is.
Donald Pleasence
The process of creation goes on all the time. When I get through, I feel I know what the character will do in every situation. But the building up of the part is not mechanical or deliberate. It grows out of the text.
Donald Pleasence
The play is on top of me all the time, and I am constantly thinking about it. Even when I leave the theatre, I'll mumble the lines to myself or think about the way the character walks or holds himself.
Donald Pleasence
I am not one of those actors who believes he has to live the part he is playing. I can turn it on and off.
Donald Pleasence
I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.
Donald Pleasence
Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.
