You hang out everywhere.
Not a naughty or scary goblin,

Of our messy, blemished lives,
You haunt territories we ignore,
Hoping we will find you there. — Joyce Rupp

From the time I was little, I'd been kind of freaked out by the whole deal with large groups of people. And even moderate - sized groups of people. It's always made me very uncomfortable.

That stuff always seems very alien and bizarre to me, and kind of scary. — Katherine Dunn
That's what all these studios do: They recruit people who've seen certain films. It's this weird, fake science-y thing the studios call a "tool."

I was so nauseous and terrified, and then you get the cards: very good, good, recommend. — Tamara Jenkins
The political vibe of late-'40s Hollywood through the mid-'50s is something we're seeing a lot of echoes of right now, and in a scary way, where I'm wishing for an Edward R.

When the theater is gothic it matches the sensibility of the show. It's also very intimate. The audience is very close to the performers.

I just love scary stuff! I'm a huge horror buff. — Elena Satine

A lot of people get flipped out if you're quiet. They say stuff like, What are you thinking? And if they don't start interrogating you, they start talking, going on and on about stuff that's totally irrelevant, and the silence gets so big and loud that it's scary. — A.M. Homes
So worried was I that people would see through the painting into my soul - and guess at secret Alison stuff - that I scraped the paint off the canvas.

That is art. Scary and exciting. — Allison Mackie
I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it. — Sam Raimi
My brother gave me some good advice. He said, "What do you want to do? Do that because there are no rules when it comes to love. There are absolutely no rules. Do what you want to do."

You never know what's going to happen so you just have to do what you feel is right in the end. — Taylor Swift
Acting itself is quite scary. Some people say that actors are show-offs, very egotistical and all that kind of stuff, but it is quite scary. — Michael Sheen
