I want to continue acting, but I want to be a director. I’d been thinking about it for a while. A couple of years ago, I decided it would be a different experience to work behind the camera. And I’d be able to work on scripts. But I like acting a lot. It’s fun. You meet a lot of people.

[on the first two Poltergeist movies]: The first one I saw 12 times. The second one I only saw twice because I didn’t think it was too great. I just thought it was too boring. You could fall asleep. It didn’t excite me, it didn’t even scare me. I don’t think it would scare anyone. The first one really kept you going. It was exciting. Well, after you see it a lot of times, it isn’t so much. But the first time you see it, it really jumps you.
