Quotes

 * I thought, ‘This is just too terrifying. I’ve never seen anything like that before.’  I hadn’t been allowed to watch horror movies before that.  I was so traumatized I literally could not sleep for weeks, and it changed my physical appearance; I lost like 10 pounds.  My teachers got so concerned they called my mother, ‘Is there something going on – is she being abused at home?’  My mother found a picture of Robert Englund the actor, and Robert Englund in the Freddy Krueger make-up, and pasted them up near my bedside table.  So, every night when I’d go to sleep, literally for like a year, I’d have to look at it and think, ‘It’s just a movie, it’s just a movie, it’s not real.’  I remember thinking that I was going to grow up one day, and be an actress and never make a movie that scares little kids.
