I wanted it to be like a high quality, drive-in movie.

You can't make everyone happy right away, you can't figure out what people want you to do, you just have to do what you want to do and hope it works out.

Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.

Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first.

White Zombie was a bunch of kids with the worst equipment playing in a basement. But that is what is so great about it. There is no reason to think that you can't do it.

Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.

The only thing I ever really care about is animals - animal causes. I don't really care about people that much, but animals I feel like they always need to be protected.

When you have too many people and you're trying to satisfy everybody's input, you usually end up with something so incredibly generic that it has no point of view.

I remember, especially like when I was in high school, going to see like Dawn of the Dead and it was like mayhem in the theater and you could barely even watch the movie. It was so fun.

I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.

Only you are responsible for the development of your gift and for its brilliant after the process of its refinement

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: "I don’t bother you - don’t bother me".

But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.

I wasn't just the madwoman in the attic--I was the attic itself. The past was all over me, all under me, all inside me.

It's so nice to be a spoke in the wheel, one that helps to turn, not one that hinders.

I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me.

You can't stay well without telling--and living--the truth.

All religions are good 'in principle' - but unfortunately this abstract Good has only rarely prevented their practitioners from behaving like bastards.

You can tell a person's past, present and future by listening to the words they use.

Builders, raise the ceiling high, Raise the dome into the sky, Hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, Tall as Mars, and statelier, Hear the wedding song!
