Quote: "A good friend of mine is Shelley Winters - we were in the Actors’ Studio together and we’ve been close for twenty years. My generation knows her as an Academy Award winner, but kids today know her as Roseanne’s grandmother on the Roseanne show. Yet I know that tickles her to death. Now, I’m not trying to compare myself to Shelley, but I’ve done a lot of far more serious roles than Freddy vs. Jason. And we all want recognition, so it’s exciting - I never would have thought I would have found a little piece of immortality this way, you know? It’s my tiny slice of the pop culture pie. I am now part of a tradition that I had never even thought about." - pg. 304, Crystal Lake Memories Buy Crystal Lake Memories by Peter Bracke for more amazing interviews!
