More quotes by Robert Englund
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.

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.
Robert Englund
Who would know that by playing a nerdy alien and a child killer, I would have a 30-year career in Hollywood? I've outlasted so many people.
Robert Englund
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.
Robert Englund
Yeah, snakes. They're my fear factor.
Robert Englund
I hate these actresses-pretending-to-be-lesbians movies. To me, that's just as prurient as a bad violent movie.
Robert Englund
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.

It's hard for young people to understand when you tell them how great relationships are.
