I got to do the Rose Bowl Parade - which is the largest parade in America - with a float. That was a fun opportunity.

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.

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

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.

If people like you they'll listen to you, but if they trust you they'll do business with you.

do something good...rape your self before your lifes next attempt....!

An old couple came running from a motorhome, scribbling as they ran. Their sign read, Can you check on our cat, Ariel?No one would answer that, because the cats had all been eaten.

A lot of people believe what other people say.

If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.

Everything I do is part of my passion.

When I was 34, people would say, What's going to happen to you when you're 40? What are you going to do? You don't have much time left. And I was like, what are you talking about?

I think [Donald Trump's] incentives are not aligned with the Republican Party. I mean, they are part of the time, but they're not all of the time.

Those glories come too late That on our ashes wait.

The true fountains of evidence [are] the head and heart of every rational and honest man. It is there nature has written her moral laws, and where every man may read them for himself.
