Whats great about Freddy in this is when he gets to comment and manipulate the back stories and the fears of the characters - especially with Jason.

I love the fans, and I respect the fans, and I want them to go out and support movies.

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.

Sometimes we spend our money on something we think is gonna be great, and the titles shall remain nameless, but they're just a little disappointing.

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

There's a depth to the nightmare, to the symbolism you can exploit, on an intellectual level, on a sexual level, on a primal, violent level, and I think all of those things together are just great. They're the spice and ingredients in the menu of the horror movie, and I think that's why we'll be around for a long time.

When you see a guy flying into the air on fire, that's not me, obviously. I do all the water tricks, though.

I think that what's happened is that there's been a rediscovery of some good old-school films and a realization that there's always a place for them. We don't have to outgrow them with the new technology and we can do them with it and we can do them without it. We shouldn't always have the demands made on us to do it.

I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.

I'd like to see a slasher movie set in the depression.

I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television.

I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.

People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.

I know actors that were on great television shows that got cancelled and they have never done anything that good since.

Yeah, snakes. They're my fear factor.

Horror has been very good to me in my career. Doing horror films is for the fans and helps keep that part of my career alive.

I have friends in New York that won't leave New York, and they're really talented people, but they'd rather take an acting class in New York than do a play in Florida or Boston. That's just weird to me, but they get into that I've-got-to-be-in-the-center-of-the-universe mentality. I'm not that way.

That's the thing with independent cinema: They all get good reviews, and they don't make money. Some of them are good. Some are great. And some are terrible.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.

There's a lot of dark horror, and a lot of sci-fi fantasy that's great, but what gets hyped a lot the big stuff. The most expensive stuff gets hyped a lot, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but there's things that fall through the cracks.
