I'm Always Involved With Casting My Movies.

When I Got Into The Movie Business, Working With Actors Was The One Thing I Was Really Weak At. I Didn't Know What To Say To Actors. They Scared Me And Intimidated Me. The Actors That I've Worked With Who Have Had A Lot Of Experience, Or Who I've Even Grown Up Watching As A Kid, Were Really Scary. I Was Like, "what Am I Going To Say To This Person?" But, I've Matured. It's Fun. I Understand What Actors Do Now.

In Halloween, I Viewed The Characters As Simply Normal Teenagers. Laurie, Jamie Lee's Character, Was Shy And Somewhat Repressed. And Michael Myers, The Killer, Is Definitely Repressed. They Have Certain Similarities.

Horror Is A Reaction; It's Not A Genre. Somebody's Life Would Have To Be In Danger For It [story] To Be A Horror Story.

I Think There Are Certain Subjects I Don't Want To Tackle, That I Don't Think I Could Do A Good Job With. I Don't Think I'd Be Good With... Broad Comedy? I Don't Know. Maybe I Would.

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.
