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

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.

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.

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

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

The amount of money you make ethically is directly proportionate to the value you add in others people’s life

Love is a spark of light.

I loved growing up in Canada. It's a great place to grow up because - well, at least where I grew up - it's very multicultural. There's also good health care and a good education system.

Speaking of line, what artist of line was ever able to find more depth and volume than Hirschfeld? He was an illustrator and a caricaturist, but first and foremost, an artist.

Atticus "What's this religion going to be called?" Oberon "Poochism" A:"and the name of this holy writ I will be typing for you?" O:"The dead flea scrolls: A Sirius Prophecy.

The measure of a society can be how well its people treat its animals

I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day.

Great breakthroughs are always followed by great catastrophes.

There is nothing finer than to be alone with nothing to distract you.
