“Psycho did fix my image, for better or worse. For years afterward, many young ladies refused to take showers with me.”

“The longest running tradition in literature is the horror tale, and it goes back to Beowulf, and I’m sure it goes back to the oral tales of “You better not go by the swamp, because there’s something in there.…” These tales of warning, of danger—either in a physical or a mental way—which show the ways others have dealt with it, have been around a long, long, time. And will be around until the end of time.”
