❝ My mother forbad us to walk backwards. That is how the dead walk, she would say. Where did she get this idea? Perhaps from a bad translation. The dead after all, do not walk backwards but they do walk behind us. They have no lungs and cannot call out but would love for us to turn around. They are victims of love, many of them. ❞

❝ Since childhood I’ve been faithful to monsters. I’ve been saved and absolved by them because monsters are the patron saints of our blissful imperfections. ❞

❝ ‘Bring in Charlie.’ This is a del Toro wheeze; his creature is never given a name in the final film—merely ‘the asset'—but Jones’s character is called ‘Charlie’ on the call-sheet by reference to the StarKist mascot Charlie the Tuna. ‘We wanted to play the ad on TV,’ he says, ‘but StarKist didn’t want to have anything to do with a movie like this. The nickname stayed.’ ❞

My wife and I thought it would be a good idea to wait to see the baby first before we actually decided what his name would be … get a sense of the guy.
Then we saw him and he looked like a tiny little baby alien grandpa creature and I was like, ‘I’m not getting any information from this — at all.’

❝ That’s the hard part. You don’t want to admit how possessive you’ve become. There are times where you go, ‘Really? That’s what they think of Luke? I’m not only in disagreement – I’m insulted.’ But that’s the process and you thrash it all out. ❞
❝ This is a song for when you have a direct and pressing need to curse all of the vampires in your life at once in a single gesture because there are a lot of them so if you try to curse them one at a time, it will be exhausting and you will probably die before you get done cursing them. So this, really, is a song in favour of more efficient curses that get whole groups out of the way so you can move on to other people who need cursed. ❞
