I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.

My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings if not with what I went through to learn.

The more education a woman has the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people different beliefs different yearnings different hopes different dreams.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.
