Actually, when I was little I even dreamed about riding a black cat.

Since I always go to work as Elvira, maybe a giant version of a cat. A black cat. I love cats and I think Elvira would look really good sitting on one.

If I retire doing the character, I don't think the character has to retire. There will still be caricatures of Elvira. You know, Dracula still works, and he's dead.

I love the old movies from my past, when I was growing up. I just have a special place in my heart for them. They kind of feel like comfort food to me, so watching them is just cozy and warm.

Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

When I was into The Beatles, I cut my hair into a Beatle haircut, which looked so ridiculously stupid with my little cat-eye glasses that I wore.

If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it's Halloween. We haven't taken it away from kids. We've just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.

I knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.

I've probably said a million times in my life something about, "All those people are just lemmings. They'd follow each other off a cliff." Well, no such thing.

I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.

Luckily, it's one of my favorite movies [ Night Of The Living Dead]. I never get tired of watching it.

Change your introduction so that you can change the outcome. Engage clients or they'll be thinking divorce.

Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

I do want an expensive honeymoon. Not because I'm extravagant, but because a honeymoon is a solemn, important thing ... a symbol. And it ought to be done -- well, adequately.

I have a dream. With that one sentence, Martin Luther King touched and empowered an entire nation. You know what else he did? He made everybody else without dreams feel real bad.

I want to make good films; I don't want to make films for the moment.

We have two hundred languages in Europe. Two hundred languages! Count them! I know you won't!

High school studfents are the largest oppressed minority in America.

The weakest of all weak things is a virtue that has not been tested in the fire.

If I do do a sequel, I'm going to have to know for sure that the script is better than the original. So I'm going to be very careful about that because I'm not eager to repeat myself.

A doable goal for me is to finish a marathon under four hours. I'm doing all the training, but the hardest part is eating right.
