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.

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.

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.

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

Most powerful of all powers in its holy insinuation is _being_. _To be_ is more powerful than even _to do_. Action _may_ be hypocrisy, but being is the thing itself, and is the parent of action.

I'd say the depths of his stupidity have yet to be plumbed, and yours is comin' up fast on the inside turn.

Life involves a lot of unknowns.

When a kid can understand that a word can mean two things, there's some real thinking going on. They have a vested interest in finding out what a word means, because it's the punch line to a joke.

I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.

I always have dashi in my refrigerator—it's the almighty Japanese ingredient.

I was very blessed in always knowing what I wanted to do, and by the grace of God, I've been able to succeed in my chosen career.

Inspiration is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything. I go into my office every day that I'm in Brighton and work. Whether I feel like it or not is irrelevant.

I was in the shopping mall because that's where I go lately. For the last couple of weeks, I've been going there every day, trying to figure out why people go there. It's kind of a personal project.

Carlsen will be ridiculously difficult to play against. (on the 2013 World Championship match)
