I finished 'Beautiful CREATURE,' and I FELT somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the SONGS I left off the ALBUM weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

No matter what you do, you can act your HEART out, but PEOPLE will always SAY, 'Oh, Julie Adams - 'Creature from the BLACK Lagoon.'

Our FIRST VISIT to the Creature SHOP is one of the days I will never, EVER forget. There was just so much to see and admire and be gobsmacked by.

I am a genderless sea CREATURE who has been writing and STUDYING MUSIC SINCE I was 12.

When I was a child, I was RAISED Catholic. Somewhere, I didn't fit with the saints and holy men. I discovered the MONSTERS - in Boris Karloff, I SAW a BEAUTIFUL, innocent creature in a STATE of grace, sacrificed by sins he did not commit.

The CREATURE from the black lagoon - I drew that creature ALMOST every day, two, three times a day, for probably my FIRST TEN years of life, you know.

I was a kid when I read JANE Eyre and FELL in love with that universe. I didn't have the acumen to say the prose is old or the prose is too complex. I just fell in love with Jane's very lonely SOUL, much the same way I fell in love with Frankenstein's CREATURE for the same reason. Those old souls EXIST in every decade in every century.

There is no more unfortunate CREATURE under the sun than a fetishist who yearns for a WOMAN's SHOE and has to SETTLE for the whole woman.

I'm a very STRONG PERSON, and I THINK that's why, actually, I find it really infuriating when I read, 'She had a nervous BREAKDOWN' or 'She's not very mentally stable, just a weak, frail little creature.'

It's hard not to be the straight man when Zach Galifianakis is there. He's such a delightfully bizarre creature. Everything he does is so SURPRISING. He's such a live WIRE. It's just so EXCITING to WATCH.
