I vaguely remember doing [all my] photo sessions, but definitely there were some surprises there for me.

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.

there is only one true heroism in the world: to see the world as it is, and to love it

We are the children of the earth and removed from her our spirit withers.

As expected: she, the daughter of the Fall, recipient of its heaviest radiation, loved atomically.

God has put into the heart of man love and the boldness to sue, and into the heart of woman fear and the courage to refuse.

It seems to me we are losing our way in an effort to get the ratings.

There is always something melancholic about the empty chairs.

We need to have a president that's going to pledge, as I have - I'm going to make America the number-one manufacturer so working men and women can have good paying jobs again in America.

Saying atheism is a belief system is like saying not going skiing is a hobby.

We are learning, day by day, about the gift of agency that allows us to experience the consequences, good and bad, of our own choices.

To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.
