When I was a kid... I don't know which was more embarrassing, when I was really into The Beatles or when I was a hippie.

I felt like I kind of got to know [Elvis Presley], and got a little peek inside what was going on there. That was pretty amazing.

I ended up spending some time with Jimi Hendrix and hanging out with him, and that was beyond awesome.

Luckily, it's one of my favorite movies [ Night Of The Living Dead]. I never get tired of watching it.

When Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark came out, I got to go to Japan and Australia and France, Italy, Germany, everywhere with the movie. That was great, because I love traveling.

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

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.
