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.

In the ideal state, laws are few and simple. In the corrupt state, they are many and confused.

France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you can't tear the toilet paper.

Bragging is not an attractive trait, but let's be honest. A man who catches a big fish doesn't go home through an alley.

Creativity is at the root of love and meaning in this life.

The right of an individual to refuse to kill, to torture, or to participate in the preparation for the nuclear destruction of humanity seems to me to be fundamental.
