You have to get your hands dirty. You've got to really deliver the goods, and when you do, you can get something really special.

I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.

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

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.

All my old surfing injuries have kind of come back to haunt me.

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.

I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.

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.

Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream.

I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.

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

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.

Yeah, snakes. They're my fear factor.
