[on her favorite meal to cook] I'm Jewish, and I always loved to cook my grandma's food- like brisket. I'm not someone who's religious, but for me, religion is family... So every time I cook a brisket, the smell of the meat in my house reminds me of being a little girl...

[About Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)] It was my first movie, so I was more excited about that--just being an actress, never mind being in a horror movie. At that time I wasn't even a horror movie fan. I did "Halloween 4" and Halloween 5 (1989) back to back, and I decided that horror movies were all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It was going to be my thing.
