Robert Englund
I was quite a snob when I was a theatre actor earlier in my career.Collection: Careers
I may be a B-movie star, but I work. I'm an actor.Collection: Stars
I have friends in New York that won't leave New York, and they're really talented people, but they'd rather take an acting class in New York than do a play in Florida or Boston. That's just weird to me, but they get into that I've-got-to-be-in-the-center-of-the-universe mentality. I'm not that way.Collection: New York
I've watched people who were better actors than me disappear, and they're selling insurance now.Collection: People
I don't choose roles. I go where I'm wanted.Collection: Roles
Doing a movie in Tel Aviv or London or South Africa or Mexico. It's this great second act to my career, and it's a real good time.Collection: Real
I am lucky. I am fortunate. I found the love of my life.Collection: Love Of My Life
I know actors that were on great television shows that got cancelled and they have never done anything that good since.Collection: Done
I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.Collection: Fire
I do a lot of stuff in my career, but I like to keep a hand in horror.Collection: Hands
When you're on a sound stage and you're shooting a fire stunt, this weird thing happens where the fire eats up all the oxygen and everybody gets a little dingy.Collection: Oxygen
When you're an actor and you can set your arm on fire, you feel kind of magical.Collection: Fire
I love fire. I just think it's hypnotic and great, but I've got to tell you - on a sound stage, that stuff scares me.Collection: Thinking
If I'm out in the country or something, I'm still spooked by snakes.Collection: Country
I've worked with pythons and such in a couple of movies, and I had to wrangle around, but I was okay. Still, if I'm out in the country or something, I'm still spooked by them.Collection: Country
I kind of forgot about the inner child in me that loved the old horror movies.Collection: Children
I loved horror since I was a kid.Collection: Kids
Yeah, snakes. They're my fear factor.Collection: Snakes
I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.Collection: Psycho
I know sometimes when I go to a convention or a film festival occasionally people bring me really valuable and really rare memorabilia that I have never seen before.Collection: People
I think I am a little too old now.Collection: Thinking
Once you have a history together, it's just another love for life. Everything is easier. It is just easier to live.Collection: Love Life
Horror has been very good to me in my career. Doing horror films is for the fans and helps keep that part of my career alive.Collection: Careers
People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.Collection: Character
Now pole dancing is part of popular culture as exercise.Collection: Exercise
All my old surfing injuries have kind of come back to haunt me.Collection: Surfing
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.Collection: Sometimes
I am constantly seeing new horror that I like.Collection: Horror
I love the fans, and I respect the fans, and I want them to go out and support movies.Collection: Support
Everybody has a nightmare, and everybody apparently has falling dreams, and everybody has the drowning dream, and everybody has certain kinds of sexual manifestation dreams, as well as our stress dreams; I didn't study for the algebra test, I didn't study for my driving test, you know, all those dreams. I still have those dreams, and it's just such an interesting thing that our mind can turn against us, our own mind, you know we all have.Collection: Dream
Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream. 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.Collection: Dream
There's a depth to the nightmare, to the symbolism you can exploit, on an intellectual level, on a sexual level, on a primal, violent level, and I think all of those things together are just great. They're the spice and ingredients in the menu of the horror movie, and I think that's why we'll be around for a long time.Collection: Thinking
Why couldn't there be even a western slasher, or why couldn't there be a serial killer in a kind of pirate buccaneer Caribbean, just someone that's just doing terrible, terrible things in the ports, the sexy ports of Jamaica during the Pirate Renaissance.Collection: Sexy
Surfing is real private. It's a solo, loner sport.Collection: Sports
I'm at that stage in my career, especially now where I go where I am wanted.Collection: Careers
I did lots of Shakespeare and classics, and I just kind of became that person. I was a bit of a snob.Collection: Kind
I don't rush out the first day to see every horror movie, but I do keep up on them, because I want to talk intelligently with the fans about them.Collection: Fans
A lot of guys like to go to the beach and bring a crowd, but not me. I like to be alone and out there with a couple of pelicans.Collection: Beach
I'm not surfing every day, so I'm not in that good of a shape, and when I paddle, I might get caught in the impact zone and get my world rocked pretty good.Collection: Impact
I'm doing a lot of boogie-boarding now. It's actually better exercise, I get a lot more waves, and if I'm out in big surf, I can duck under the waves much easier.Collection: Exercise
By the time I'm out of makeup, I'm ready to act.Collection: Makeup
I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.Collection: Needs
I make a star's salary when I do horror, because I can still open a movie in Italy or Spain or Germany.Collection: Stars
