[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.

More quotes by Cassandra Peterson
I am very, very anti-slasher.
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 a kid, my favorite after-school snack was hominy and pickled pigs feet.
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 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
Maybe one of the strangest opportunities was I got to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
Cassandra Peterson
At least I get my little black dress cleaned once in awhile.
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 just chased bands all over the country. The biggest one I saw was Jimi Hendrix.
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 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
Luckily, it's one of my favorite movies [ Night Of The Living Dead]. I never get tired of watching it.
Cassandra Peterson
I knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.
Cassandra Peterson
I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.
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
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
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
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
Actually, when I was little I even dreamed about riding a black cat.
Cassandra Peterson
Ive made a career off of Halloween.
