Cupcakes - when you want to watch your weight, but still feel the pride that comes with eating an entire cake.
I just chased bands all over the country. The biggest one I saw was Jimi Hendrix.
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'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 can't tell you how exciting it was, because Vincent Price had made a huge impression on me when I was a little kid. I just loved him in films. And so meeting him and becoming friends with him was a big deal for me.
People think, "Oh my god, you've been doing this job for so many years, it must get boring. " It's like, "No, hell no," because I get to sing, I get to dance, I get to be on TV and in films, I get to do merchandising, licensing, show up at conventions, write, or take photographs for my book. There are so many different things going on for me that it never gets boring. It's always fun and interesting.
I had this grand idea that Elvira's kind of the Santa Claus of Halloween - at the malls, you'd have an Elvira there. Girls would dress as Elvira just like guys dress as Santa Claus, and it's not the real thing, but they'll pose for pictures, sign autographs. Of course, I couldn't go around to every mall, so we'd have to get more Elviras.
My point is, I don't see the need to eat animals. I love animals; besides the horrible stuff that's put in meat, I actually love cuddling with animals and petting them and stuff.
My background is Scottish.
I want to be the best, it's not about the ranking, it's about being consistent.
Pleasure and pain spring not so much from the nature of things, as from our manner of considering them in particular, what we compare them to.
