"I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television."
"But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies."
"The last time we had Freddy in reality was part two and Freddy sort of went out on his own."
"If they do something like that, maybe a Freddy Krueger fan, a girl, a really sick goth girl starts killing kids herself and Freddy has to put a stop to it, or they have to fight it out."
"And in Freddy vs. Jason I like when Jason and I double team Destiny's Child."
"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."
"Gosh, I'd like to direct Our Town on stage."
"I wouldn't want the pressure of a Six Feet Under or the pressure of improvising like Curb Your Enthusiasm."
"Kids today don't watch a black and white movie."
"Most of my nightmares involve me forgetting my lines in a stage play."
"I think superheroes today are like whistle blowers."
"I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival."
"The modern horror audience is wise to our tricks this lets it in on the gag."
"Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh."
"Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters."
"I would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe."
"You're going to have to surrender a little bit to the contrivance of how Freddy and Jason get together."
"I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American."
"I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character."
"Sometimes jobs are jobs, and when you guest star on television, you're also working with a guest director. You're the new kid on the block, because everyone else is already in the ensemble."
"I'm a Hollywood kid, and I know that there are only so many stories. Only so many tales around the campfire that we have to tell. Then we have to regurgitate them. Our grandparents' movies were all remakes of silent films - we forget that, but it's true."
"I think there's a time and place to watch an independent film, or catch up on a French action film on your laptop, or Netflix it, or download it, or watch it on-demand. But I think we also have to maintain the sacredness of the movie theatre as church - especially with event screenings."
"There'll always be movies that are meant for the big screen, and they should be seen that way."
"Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story."
"I'm an actor. Actors are supposed to act."
