You know... the wonderful thing about Dark Shadows, the thing about going and looking back at it. It was so sucsessful at creating its own world.

When I entered college, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.

When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it's in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it's a special thing.

When I was younger I decided I'd hop on the train to New York.

I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.

I never found it frustrating not speaking.

I did a lot of personal appearances because I was under contract to ABC.

One of the reasons I think Dark Shadows still runs is that it's dependent on nothing else other than a story.

The thing of it is though that's the only way people know you, they see you in that roll and they see you in person and they only know the perception of what you are.

We have to provide good teachers, good environment, community involvement with schools.

I don't think they knew exactly where they were going with the character, but they lay those stories out ahead of time, so they had some idea where they wanted it to go.

A stóirín, ya are a handful of trouble, but I kind of like it.

Do you know a better time than the present for igniting your dreams?

A reactionary revolution is nothing but a high-speed evolution backwards!

But when you make love, the dead stay close, fill the bed, lie along the bodies in tiers, sandwiching all their lives with yours.

On the film sets of 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse,' I feel safe. It's like you're in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic.

I wasn't the most popular kid in school.

I was never violent. I denounced even back then violence and left it because I didn't want to be associated with that kind of taint.

The charitable give out at the door, and God puts in at the window.

Songwriting is the way of perpetual want. Songwriters are the blessed/cursed people. You will never have a moment's peace in your life. You will always be wanting the next song.

I'm living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.
