I Am Not One Of Those Actors

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.

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.

All The Real Work Is Done In The Rehearsal Period.

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.
