Famous quotes by John Carpenter:

"I have news for him. They turned me into a movie director."

"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."

"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."

"What scares me is what scares you. We're all afraid of the same things. That's why horror is such a powerful genre. All you have to do is ask yourself what frightens you and you'll know what frightens me."

"It's a very good time for horror. This business certainly has changed, but there's still room for serious horror films. Look at 28 Days Later, that's not a tongue-in-cheek picture."

"I think Tarantino has changed things."

"One could make money and get a career going with a low-budget horror film about killers attacking on holidays. It is always flattering to have somebody copy you."

"In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum."

"To make Michael Myers frightening, I had him walk like a man, not a monster."

"Evil hiding among us is an ancient theme."
