Robert Englund's quotes
- 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 (1956) instead. Horrifying. For years I was frightened of girls with pigtails.
- I saw an entire magazine of Freddy Krueger tattoos. Hey, I'm a classically trained actor who was doing [Anton Chekhov], and now there are thousands of people walking around America with my tattoo on them. I just take it as pop culture.
- I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.
- Gosh, I'd like to direct Our Town on stage.
- But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
- And in Freddy vs. Jason I like when Jason and I double team Destiny's Child.
- You're going to have to surrender a little bit to the contrivance of how Freddy and Jason get together.
- I think superheroes today are like whistle blowers.
- The last time we had Freddy in reality was part two and Freddy sort of went out on his own.
- Most of my nightmares involve me forgetting my lines in a stage play.
- Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
- Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
- Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh.
- I wouldn't want the pressure of a Six Feet Under or the pressure of improvising like Curb Your Enthusiasm.
- I would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe.
- I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival.
- I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.
- I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
- If they do something like that, maybe a Freddy Krueger fan, a girl, a really sick goth girl starts killing kids herself and Freddy has to put a stop to it, or they have to fight it out.
- 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.
- 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.
- The modern horror audience is wise to our tricks this lets it in on the gag.
- [observation, 2014] I'm on my third generation of fans. It's not strange at all for me to go someplace and have a father come up with his sons that he watched ['A Nightmare on Elm Street'] with when they were 12, and invited some friends for a sleepover.
