Kat Von Death: "There's the one weird gypsy lady who always f***ing comes up to me and tells me the same f***ing thing: 'There's a lot of death around you, and I'm psychic, and if you don't stop what you're doing it'll really catch up with you...' And I'm like, 'F***ing Debbie Downer!'"—Thelipster.com
