Quotes

  • [on her roles in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) and A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989) I have a place in my heart for all of the different characters I have played and there is a story or two behind each. The character of Alice in the "Nightmare" films is still one of my favorites. Alice was me in grade school and me when I 'blossomed' in college. From weak to strong, from daydreamer to realist.
