Forget Halloween - Halloween to me is like every day. It's a lifestyle.
I so love the bad-boy look.
I did go through a Goth thing, but that was a long time ago. I just like artists that shake it up, that piss people off or make people think or rattle the cage somehow.
Favorite color to paint my nails is black, always.
I like the dark, mysterious, maybe even gothic type girls. They have to have a good personality too! I'm very picky!
I've always been drawn to a certain kind of dark aesthetic in cinema and in film, to what's abjected or considered abject. I've been tremendously influenced by noirish cinema whether that's Von Sternberg or Scorsese in the 70s or Lynch, etc.
I just walk how I walk. But I am also really inspired by the physical drama in silent films from the beginning of the 20th century - it's ice cold and unreachable, like the stare of a sniper! I guess this look is something new that I brought into the world of fashion: a dark and dramatic, 19th century Russian literature and drama inspired look.
I've named a couple things after Edgar Allan Poe: the cat, and my garden upstate, where I only planted black flowers and purple flowers - and there's a raven statue.
Honestly, if you want me to keep it 100, Marilyn Manson has as much style as Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. He has a lot of style. I'm telling you, it's crazy. It might be a little darker, but it's crazy.
I'm very into dark colors. I try to rock the dark against the ghost white skin as much as humanly possible.
Who could imagine a poet wearing anything other than black?
I was a pretty dark person to begin with. I have always been more drawn to darkness
I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that.
I've always been attracted to the darker things in life. I was never one to go for light, airy stuff, even as a child. My whole aesthetic has always been one of the darker side. That rings true also in my tastes in music. It's just always something I've gravitated to naturally.
I really like dark music and darkness in general and cynicism and pessimism and negativity because it allows you to create an even bigger contrast.
I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.
When I was fourteen, I was one of those kids who wore all black because it matched everything. Seriously.
I would dye my hair every week. I wanted to be a really goth teenager.
When I was writing 'You Suck,' in 2006, I constructed the diction of the book's narrator, perky Goth girl Abby Normal, from what I read on Goth blog sites.
I not only loved studying theater, I loved being a theater major. It gave me an excuse to brood, to grow a beard, to wear black 'at' people. I didn't just want to play Hamlet, I wanted to be Hamlet.
There is something elegantly sinister about the Rolling Stones. They sit before you at a press conference like five unfolding switchblades; their faces set in rehearsed snarls; their hair studiously unkempt and matted; their clothes part of some private conceit; and the way they walk and talk and the songs they sing all become part of some long mean reach for the jugular.
I don't like a tormented photograph. Something attracts you in them, but the attraction isn't because she has a pot on her head or tonnes of make-up and weird clothes and weird everything.
You look like a Goth factory exploded all over you!" he called as she ran down the hall. "Love you, too, jackass!
I always get the 'goth girl' thing because I wear black. But I don't worship death.
A lot of times on our show, 'Shadowhunters,' we have excuses to dawn some kind of sexy black leather attire under the excuse that we're going to fight demons, but it's all part of the tone of the piece and the tone of the story.
