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.

Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

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.

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

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.

I hate to sound cliché, but it would probably be the day my daughter was born. That was a pretty amazing experience.

One of the things that's kind of persistent is that I am the model on the cover of Tom Waits' album, Small Change.
