Maybe one of the strangest opportunities was I got to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange.

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.

The substance of grief is not imaginary. It's as real as rope or the absence of air, and like both those things it can kill.

The ability to make wise choices is the most valuable skill a person can develop.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Forget the Bible, the greatest argument against human evolution is a YouTube comment thread.

An action choreographer is kind of like a dance choreographer. You choreograph the moves and you let the director, cinematographer take into positioning their cameras.

One must learn to love oneself with a wholesome and healthy love, so that one can bear to be with oneself and need not roam.

I think men are a beautiful creation.

I have had a great misfortune; my dear old dog is dead.

Educate yourself on what's going on around the world where children are dying. Educate yourself on what's going on in Africa.
