What a gift. That was the challenge with Wonka, too–to be, in a sense, like Bugs Bunny. I find it magical that a three-year-old can be mesmerized by Bugs, but so can a 40-year-old or an 80-year-old. It’s a great challenge to see if you can appeal to that huge an age range.” ~ Johnny Depp

- “I very rarely read the responses to my Salon pieces, because (as you may have noticed) the trolls can be SO evil. So violent in their hostility to me and my work. OK, wait, wait, wait. That’s a lie. I do read the responses–and get mesmerized, like cobra hypnosis. But I laugh (mostly) at the trolls, and think about what tiny little weenies they must have. (They seem to be mostly men.) And then ALL these smart, funny people leap to my defense, which is medicine, and fills me with love and thankfulness.” ~ Anne Lamott , Mesmerized quotes love

It established to me what vampires werethese elegant, tragic, sensitive people. I was really just going with that feeling when writing Interview With the Vampire. I didn’t do a lot of research.” ~ Anne Rice

I might say we became figures in a mesmerized dance before the rocking talisman of the moon, starting slow, so slow… a pair of feathers drifting through clear liquid substance of sky… gradually accelerating, faster and faster and finally into photon existence of pure light… as my whole straining body burst like fluid electricity into hers.” ~ Ken Kesey
- “There’s a lot of people that I disagree with that I think I could have interesting conversations with. What I don’t want to get into is manufactured conflict. I would much rather talk to someone like Dr. Rhonda Patrick or Randall Carlson and be mesmerized by information. I guess in a way that’s selfish, or maybe not objective of me. The older (and hopefully wiser) I get the less interested I am in conflict. I don’t mind disagreeing with people in a civil way, but I definitely don’t want to go out of my way to have an argument unless it’s a really important subject.” ~ Joe Rogan

- “Harvey wasn’t interested in the clothes, it was the masks that mesmerized him. They were like snowflakes: no two alike. Some were made of wood and of plastic; some of straw and cloth and papier-mâché. Some were as bright as parrots, others as pale as parchment. Some were so grotesque he was certain they’d been carved by crazy people; others so perfect they looked like the death masks of angels. There were masks of clowns and foxes, masks like skulls decorated with real teeth, and one with carved flames instead of hair.” ~ Clive Barker

Over time, many reach out, but most simply watch, mesmerized into maintaining their unspoken commitment to keeping us where we are, at whatever cost to them or to us (Bell).” ~ Derrick Bell

In the diamond market, the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me.” ~ Natalie Merchant
