I Don't Watch My Films. I've Seen

To Make Movies You Just Have To Want It Enough. You Have To Have The Passion For Telling Stories. You Have To Get By The Love-of-movies Aspect. You Can't Just Be A Movie Fan.

We've Got The Prettiest Girls In The World Here In Los Angeles And There's A Great Music Scene. And I Learned What I Learned About Cinema Here In Los Angeles So It's Always Been Really Important To Me As A City To Live In And I Love Making Movies About It.

I Stopped Directing In 2001 For - Oh, Damn - Four Or Five Years, Until I Did The Tv Series 'masters Of Horror.' I Had Been Working Steadily As A Director Since 1970. That's A Long Time. I Was Burned Out.

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 Don't Watch My Films. I've Seen 'em Enough After Cutting Them And Putting The Music On. I Don't Ever Want To See Them Again.
