- [on Halloween III : Le Sang du sorcier (1982)] We threw in everything but the kitchen sink. Halloween III : Le Sang du sorcier (1982) has this weird homemade quality. It's not that slick. It's intentionally a little bit funky. It's like the Little Rascals went out and made this movie, just to spite Halloween. And I love that.
- I'm a dyed-in-the-wool hippie. I think it's wise for citizens to be vigilant. I don't trust big corporations, or big television, or big advertising.
