My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
I choose to do unattractive people, because then I can pretend they think they're attractive.
Books are challenging and inspirational to me.
I like to play unattractive people who think they're pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting.
People who shop in health food stores never look healthy.
Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.
I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.
I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.
You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.
Don't make anybody a homemade gift. Unless you're really good, or it's going to be really practical. If it's a little thing you think is cute 'cause you made it, just forget it.
I want witchcraft so bad that I can't stand it. I have wands in my apartment. And I use them sometimes. I walk into the kitchen with my wand, and I come out with something on a platter and I say, 'See, magic happens.' Works every time.
I like to decide the night before Thanksgiving that I'm gonna do it, and I'll see what riff raff is around. Then I get that last-minute surge of energy. But if I had two weeks to plan, sometimes I wish I wasn't doing it. But very seldom does that happen.
I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.
When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out; I'm not good at it.
I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.
I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home; I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
A lot of times girls think they're funny, but they want to pretty at the same time, and if you want to be funny, you have to be willing to get ugly.
My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.
