More quotes by Cassandra Peterson
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.
Cassandra Peterson
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.
Cassandra Peterson
I would just think that I would remember modeling for the cover of an album with Tom Waits, who I've always loved.
Cassandra Peterson
Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
Cassandra Peterson
At least I get my little black dress cleaned once in awhile.
Cassandra Peterson
When I was a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.
Cassandra Peterson
People come up to me at conventions and say, 'I was such an outcast, I felt like such a geek, and when I saw you, you made me feel like such a normal person.' It's my favorite thing to hear, because that's how I felt when I was a kid. If Goth would've been around, I would've definitely been Goth. But there wasn't such a thing, so I was just weird.
Cassandra Peterson
When I was Elvira, it was probably the phase of my hair getting too high. I thought that if really high hair was good, then really higher hair was even better. So I just started having my hair get higher and higher. In some of the pictures, we had to cut off the picture because it was like Marge Simpson. So that was embarrassing. The wig phase.
Cassandra Peterson
I have a lot of good days I'd like to relive.
Cassandra Peterson
One of the things that's kind of persistent is that I am the model on the cover of Tom Waits' album, Small Change.
Cassandra Peterson
Maybe one of the strangest opportunities was I got to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
Cassandra Peterson
Luckily, it's one of my favorite movies [ Night Of The Living Dead]. I never get tired of watching it.
Cassandra Peterson
I vaguely remember doing [all my] photo sessions, but definitely there were some surprises there for me.
Cassandra Peterson
People were really staying away from me. And that's kind of when I split up with all my best friends at school - they were going, Something's happened to her, she's totally weird - and found my new friends, who were Beatles fans.
Cassandra Peterson
To me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is The Exorcist. It still scares the living hell out of me, and it’s because of the fantasy element. It’s the exorcism. It’s the Devil. It’s not a guy breaking into your house trying to torture you or cut your whatever off. Those kinds of movies don’t do it for me, and I don’t call them horror.
Cassandra Peterson
I chased every band around the world. Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention, you name it. I could just go on and on. It was my hobby, my pastime, and my obsession for several years.
Cassandra Peterson
[Vincent Price] did Oscar Wilde on Broadway, and I think he probably did it because he was almost like an Oscar Wilde. He had that brilliant humor.
Cassandra Peterson
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.
Cassandra Peterson
I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.
Cassandra Peterson
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.
