I was never really acting. I was not taking it seriously. Acting was very much a hobby for me. It wasn’t really until I was finishing college and doing it sporadically that I began to take it seriously. Zach Galligan Read Quote
You don’t get as invested in someone in 90 minutes as you do over 13 hours of television show. Zach Galligan Read Quote
I have a complicated relationship with the horror genre. I love it; I loved it as a kid growing up, and I watched Chiller Theater in New York. So I loved it, but then you do feel if you do it too much, you’re stuck there. Zach Galligan Read Quote
Before ‘Gremlins,’ I was a normal person, then within two weeks of the movie coming out, I couldn’t walk into a store without people turning around and staring. It’s exciting and also scary because everyone starts telling you how amazing you are. Zach Galligan Read Quote
Being on a lunchbox was awesome, and being on a thermos was pretty cool, too. Zach Galligan Read Quote
The gremlins are clearly the ones have the most fun in the film, trashing the town, going to the bar, smashing things, etc. It’s all gleeful chaos, which makes the movie fun. Zach Galligan Read Quote
I think one of the reasons ‘Gremlins’ lasts and some other films don’t is because I don’t think the movie has a whole lot of dated things – sure, the cars, my hair, and few things here and there that date the movie – but it takes place in a sort of everytown, in a sorta non-specific time, and that gives the movie a timeless quality.

Discovering L.A., in particular in the early ’80s, was pretty spectacular; it was fun and carefree, and there was not nearly as much traffic as exists today. It was very much the last gasps of the Beach Boys’ ideal view of L.A.: sun, the beach, cars, blondes, etc. Zach Galligan Read Quote
