ADD QUOTES
- Cassandra (on losing her virginity to Tom Jones): Tom seemed gentlemanly and nice, so when he was jumping on me... I thought, 'Well, if I'm ever gonna do this, it might as well be with Tom Jones.' It was painful and horrible.

- Interviewer: So how much longer will you be doing Elvira? Cassandra: I just wondered about that again yesterday. (Laughs) I had a certain birthday that was a cutoff, and then I went past that. And then another five years, I had that birthday be the cutoff — but here I am, still doing it. I just don't know. Really, I don't want to be like 85 years old doing this — just the cleavage alone will scare people.

- Cassandra: I watch that (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) and cry. I try not to turn on the TV so I don't accidentally find it. Mostly, I'm just sitting around watching really bad horror movies. All my time gets taken up watching this crap — I mean, these classic films.
