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

More quotes by Cassandra Peterson
I think, cumulatively, I probably have done more photo sessions than just about everyone. Maybe as much as a supermodel. I know they model all the time, but have they done it for 35 years? I don't think so.
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
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
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
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.
Cassandra Peterson
I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.
Cassandra Peterson
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.
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
There's a lot that I watch over and over. But I have to say, because of my line of work as a horror-movie hostess, I've probably seen Night Of The Living Dead more than any movie. I've probably seen it more than George A. Romero.
Cassandra Peterson
It's weird. I guess I got so used to [g-strings] when I was really young that I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Cassandra Peterson
I just chased bands all over the country. The biggest one I saw was Jimi Hendrix.
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
When I lived in Las Vegas, I was meeting everybody: Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones - we won't go there - but all these people that were working in Vegas a million years ago, way before I was Elvira.
Cassandra Peterson
I was probably about 13 or 14, and I went by myself to the City Auditorium in Colorado Springs and saw the guy who wrote and sang Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Brian something. And I got to meet him and he signed an autograph for me, a little piece of paper. Brian Hyland! It was so bizarre.
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
The labor part wasn't so great, but seeing [my daughter] for the first time was pretty awesome. I mean, how does it get better than another actual person popping out of your stomach, you know?
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
When I was a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.
Cassandra Peterson
I knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.
