29 Quotes by Jackie Earle Haley

One man's magic is another man's gluey torture session.

'Alien' is one of my all-time favorite horror films - that has a great monster.

Robert Englund's done an amazing job over the years playing Freddy. Everybody that's a fan of 'Nightmare' loves Robert and you know so that's a challenge when you've got to step in a big man's shoes like that, so it's scary but it's also exciting.

I do a lot of working out, but I haven't been kicking for a while, so one time I was rehearsing a spinning roundhouse and darned near threw out my leg.

The horror genre is not my favorite. I think it's fun, there's a great place for it and I get a kick out of it, but some stuff I'm too old for. You can't just take 10 guys and stick them in a cabin and off them one at a time - I'm not vested.

You can’t please everybody. All you can do is really just try to work from the heart and do the best job that you can and hope for the best.

When you act, it’s better not to fake the emotion. It’s better to find the emotion within yourself and your experiences, and see if you can bring that back to the surface, so that you can then literally hand it off to the character, and then let him run with it.

One man’s magic is another man’s gluey torture session.
