I wouldn't want the pressure of a Six Feet Under or the pressure of improvising like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

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.

When I was 9, I went to a birthday party. We were supposed to see a cowboy movie, but the programming got screwed up and we saw 'The Bad Seed' instead. Horrifying. For years I was frightened of girls with pigtails.

4.
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.
Robert Englund
5.
I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.
Robert Englund
6.
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
Robert Englund
7.
I have some friends that just stick to the same criteria over and over again not realizing there are lots of other kinds of people and that may be what you like. People get in that mindset and put their blinders on.
Robert Englund
8.
Most of my nightmares involve me forgetting my lines in a stage play.
Robert Englund
9.
The modern horror audience is wise to our tricks this lets it in on the gag.
Robert Englund

The last time we had Freddy in reality was part two and Freddy sort of went out on his own.
Robert Englund
11.
People actually were worried that I was going to get stereotyped as a monster after Freddy, but my God, I got stereotyped as white trash for years, the best friend for years, the redneck for years, the nerd for years and let me tell you...it's better to be a monster than to be a nerd.
Robert Englund
12.
I think superheroes today are like whistle blowers.

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.

That old rock and roll song, "looking for love in all the wrong places," it's true.
Robert Englund
15.
There's a lot of dark horror, and a lot of sci-fi fantasy that's great, but what gets hyped a lot the big stuff. The most expensive stuff gets hyped a lot, and I love it, don't get me wrong, but there's things that fall through the cracks.

Surfing is real private. It's a solo, loner sport.

Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.
Robert Englund
18.
And in Freddy vs. Jason I like when Jason and I double team Destiny's Child.
Robert Englund
19.
Whats great about Freddy in this is when he gets to comment and manipulate the back stories and the fears of the characters - especially with Jason.
Robert Englund
20.
I would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe.
Robert Englund
21.
Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Robert Englund

Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh.
Robert Englund
23.
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.
Robert Englund
24.
But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
Robert Englund
25.
I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival.
Robert Englund
26.
With all the new technology, DVD's, Blu-Ray's, NetFlex, everyone has access to older movies. There is a new generation now of Freddy fans. Fathers that saw the movie originally, these guys are dads now, and they let their kids watch them.
Robert Englund
27.
I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
Robert Englund
28.
I always liked the skinny punk girls; I even loved them before punk.

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.
Robert Englund
30.
I do love old horror, everytime I watch Rosemary's Baby the performances just get richer and richer and more multi-layered, and I see images that are just so politically outrageous. I love it all.
Robert Englund
31.
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.
Robert Englund
32.
I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.
Robert Englund
33.
I kind of forgot about the inner child in me that loved the old horror movies.
Robert Englund
34.
By the time I'm out of makeup, I'm ready to act.
Robert Englund
35.
I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.
Robert Englund
36.
I make a star's salary when I do horror, because I can still open a movie in Italy or Spain or Germany.
Robert Englund
37.
I love the fans, and I respect the fans, and I want them to go out and support movies.
Robert Englund
38.
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.
Robert Englund
39.
I did lots of Shakespeare and classics, and I just kind of became that person. I was a bit of a snob.
Robert Englund
40.
I am lucky. I am fortunate. I found the love of my life.
Robert Englund
41.
Once you have a history together, it's just another love for life. Everything is easier. It is just easier to live.
Robert Englund
42.
Now pole dancing is part of popular culture as exercise.
Robert Englund
43.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.
Robert Englund
44.
I love the idea that all genres can have subsets.
Robert Englund
45.
I think I am a little too old now.
Robert Englund
46.
All my old surfing injuries have kind of come back to haunt me.
Robert Englund
47.
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.
Robert Englund
48.
People forget that we are character actors and we can do other things.
Robert Englund
49.
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.
Robert Englund
50.
I do a lot of stuff in my career, but I like to keep a hand in horror.
