I Had A Talent For Scoring Films;

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.

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.

You Play With Everything You've Got. I'm Not A Lover Of Cheap Tricks. I've Always Loved Playing With People, But There's No Rule About It. You Try Everything You Can.

Halloween Put Me On The Map, And I'm Very Sad To Hear Of His Death.

I Had A Talent For Scoring Films; I Just Developed It.
