I Never Got In This Business, In

Film Buffs Who Don't Live In Hollywood Have A Fantasy About What It's Like To Be A Director. Movies And The People Who Make Movies Have Such Glamour Associated With Them. But The Truth Is, It's Not Like That. It's Very Different. It's Hard Work.

We All Question Our Sanity. Everyone Has Had An Experience Of Loss Of Control Of Something.

When Somebody Who Makes Movies For A Living - Either As An Actor, Writer, Producer Or Director - Lives To Be A Certain Age, You Have To Admire Them. It Is An Act Of Courage To Make A Film - A Courage For Which You Are Not Prepared In The Rest Of Life. It Is Very Hard And Very Destructive. But We Do It Because We Love It.

I Made A Decision Back In 1978 That, In A Trade Off For Money When I Directed Halloween, I Would Have My Name Above The Title In Order To Basically Brand These Movies My Own.

I Don't Want To Be A Part Of The Demographics. I Want To Be An Individual. I Wear Each Of My Films As A Badge Of Pride. That's Why I Cherish All My Bad Reviews. If The Critics Start Liking My Movies, Then I'm In Deep Trouble.
