More From Marilyn Manson

I Can't Turn Off The Way I Think, And That's Essentially Who I Am, Who Anybody Is.

I Was Becoming The Cold, Emotionally Crippled Monster I Always Wanted To Be, And I Wasn’t So Sure I Liked It. But It Was Too Late. The Metamorphosis Was Already Well Under Way.

Ultimately, Because I'm An Artist, I Can't Ever Consider Myself A Nihilist, So I Suppose I'm Optimistic.

It's Better To Use A Curse Word Than To Hurt Somebody Else, I Find.

When I Was A Kid I Really Didn't Have My Own Opinions And Then Sort Of Transformed Into This Angel Which Is Really Marilyn Manson And Then The Final Stage Is Antichrist Superstar Which Is The More Nihilistic, Totalitarian Element In Everybody's Personality, That, Is A Real Struggle On The Album And In My Life, Between That Power.

I Believe Nothing Happens By Accident. My Fame Has Happened For A Reason. My Fans Are My Kindred Spirits In Revolution. If Anyone Chooses To Ignore The Message Or The Messenger, They Do So At Their Own Risk. Believe It Or Not, There Are Many More People Out There That Understand What I Am Trying To Do Than Society Wants To Admit. The Way I Live My Life Represents A Much Bigger Part Of America Than Anyone Would Care To Imagine

Someday, When I Manage To Finally Figure Out How To Take Care Of Myself, Then I'll Consider Taking Care Of Someone Else.

It's Always About Being Yourself And Not Being Ashamed Of Being Different Or Thinking Different.

Being Different

This Isn't A Mob, Won't Need To Change The Names. Everyone Around You Has Murdered Someone, Something Sacred. There Isn't One Nail Without Dirt Under It. There Isn't Any White Cotton Panties That Aren't Soaked And Stained Red. It's Better To Push Something When It's Slipping, Than To Risk Being Dragged Down.

To Me, Anything That Is A Church Is Really Just Far Too Close Minded.

Close Mindedness

Find Out What's Really Out There. I Never Said To Be Like Me, I Say Be Like You And Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

I Just Don't Like When There's A Rumor That Says I'm Dating Someone Who Is Below My Standards. But When I Got Divorced, My Ex-wife Said I Was Spending All My Time With Lindsay Lohan And Angelina Jolie. I Was Like, 'thank You For The Big Ups!'

We Will No Longer Be Oppressed By The Fascism Called Christianity. We Will No Longer Be Oppressed By The Mentality Of The Police State.

I Traveled Into The Future To Get Back In Time.

I'm Chaos, I've Always Been Chaos, My Point On Earth Is Chaos.

You Look A Certain Way Because You Want People To Listen To You In A Certain Way.

Looking Back, The Only Person That Really Surprised Me Was Chris Vrenna Only Because I've Known Him Since 1992, And For Him Not To Be Able To Say It To My Face, "hey, I Don't Want To Do This Anymore." Instead, He Said "i'll See You Tomorrow" And Then He Never Came Back. I Find That Strange. I Don't Know If He Is Afraid Of Me Or Thinks I'm Going To Beat Him Over The Head With Something. I'm Not Like That.

If You Intend To Create Something That People Will Observe And Listen To, You've Got To Listen To Them First.

Marilyn Manson Is Simply Too Dangerous For Darien Lake.

I've Always Believed That A Person Is Smart. It's People That Are Stupid.

The Person Who Thinks I Worship The Devil And Kill Animals Is Just As Important As Someone Who Makes An Interpretation That's Closer To What I Intended.

I Never Said To Be Like Me, I Say Be Like You And Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

There's A Certain Group Of People Who Are Always Going To Dislike Me And Disagree With Whatever I Say.

The Boy That You Loved Is The Man That You Fear.

I Fall In Love Very Easily.

Falling In Love

I Spent Hours Flipping Through The Stations, Watching Pat Robertson Preach About Society’s Evils And Then Ask People To Call Him With Their Credit Card Number.

Marilyn Is Real. I Wake Up And I Am Marilyn.

When You Want To Die, You At Least Have A Goal. You're Aiming For Something. It's Not A Good Goal, But At Least You Want Something. And You've Got Anger And Fear, But At Least You're Feeling Something.

There's A Lot Of Great Stories And A Lot Of Great Values In The Holy Bible, And I Actually Relate To A Lot Of Them. The Character, The Idea, Or The Part Of My Personality That I Describe As Antichrist Superstar, Is A Lot Like Lucifer In The Bible. Someone Who Was Kicked Out Of Heaven Because He Wanted To Be God

People Only Hate What They See In Themselves.

I'm Thinking About Entering A Marilyn Manson Costume Contest To See If I Lose.

When People Say 'i Want To Be Like You', I Tell Them If You Want To Be Like Me, Then Be Yourself.

Why Should We Believe In A God, That Doesnt Believe In Us?

Sometimes I Like To Get Drunk And Buy Things On The Internet, And Then I Wake Up The Next Day And Find 'em On My Doorstep, And It's Like Christmas. I Get Excited.

I Am Not As Self-abusive In The Manner Of Walking Off Stage Bleeding. But As Far As Attitude, I Feel That Twiggy And I Have Finally Gotten Back To The Point Of Being Brothers And Clicked Back Into The Place Where We Really Enjoy Feeding Off Each Other Onstage Like We Did When We Started Out.

I Realized That I Started Writing Songs To Make People Feel How I Felt, Rather Than Just Making Them Feel Something. That's Not The Way I Should Do Things.

To Admit You Want To Have A Comeback Means You Have To Admit You Weren't What You Were Supposed To Be. You Dropped Below Your Own Standard.

Black Eyeliner. It’s Standard. It’s All You Need. It Just Makes The World A Better Place.

Dear God, If You Were Alive, You Know We'd Kill You.

My First Dissatisfaction Has Always Been With Religion.

Dissatisfaction

If Every Cigarette You Smoke Takes Seven Minutes Off Of Your Life, Every Game Of Dungeons & Dragons You Play Delays The Loss Of Your Virginity By Seven Hours.

Finding Someone Who's Willing To Drown With You Creates A Situation Where You No Longer Want To Drown.

Finding Someone

I'm A Teen Distortion, Survived Abortion.

Watching Movies Is My One Distraction.

All The Drugs In The World Won't Save Us From Ourselves.

The Word 'antichrist', To Me, Is The Collective Disbelief In God.

Anybody Intelligent Enough To Realize What America Is, Is Not Going To Sit Around And Do Nothing About It. They're Going To Be The Same Way That I Am. They're Going To Be The Same Way Our Fans Are. They're Going To Be Pissed.

If I Were In A Room Full Of People, I'd Rather Be The Person Who Is More Interesting Than The One Who Is Wallpaper.

Relationships Never Break Cleanly. Like A Valuable Vase, They Are Smashed And Then Glued Back Together, Smashed And Glued, Smashed And Glued Until The Pieces Just Don't Fit Together Anymore.

When You Grow Up In America Things Like Christianity Waters Down Your Feeling... When You're Taught To Love Everybody, Taught To Love You're Enemies, What Value Does That Put On Love?

My Goal Isn't To Make Money, It's To Try And Survive And Make A Point.

You Might Find Me Outside With A Can Of Hair Spray, Spraying It With The Hope That The Sun Will Burn A Hole In The Earth. Another Part Of Me Hopes People Will Grow Up And Evolve And Get Smarter. That's The Paradox Of Marilyn Manson.

They'll See It. And It Doesn't Matter If They Don't. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. But I Do Intend To Move More Into The Mainstream. Marilyn Manson Is Just The First Phase.

A Lot Of People Don't Want To Make Their Own Decisions. They're Too Scared. It's Much Easier To Be Told What To Do.

I Am The Ism, My Hate's A Prism.

God Is Just A Statistics.

People Are Very Surprised To Hear Me Say That A Lot Of My Values Are Christian Values. I Think That's Part Of My Shock. I Just Don't Like The Way That Christianity Combined With The Influence Of Television Has Bred A Nation Of Weakness. (christian Television Do Get The Facts Wrong Sometimes And The Image They Portray Turns Most People Off.)

If You Lose Emotion, And You Gain It Back, You Realise That Hate And Love Are Very Important To Distribute Properly. So I'm Not Going To Waste Any Kind Of Emotion On Things That Aren't Related To Me.

Films And Things Like That Are Really My First Love And, So When We Get To Make Videos It's Just As Important As The Song. To Me It's Not A Commercial, For Me It's A Whole Work Of Art On It's Own So, We Plan On Working On A Movie And Things Like That In The Future So.

There's A Big Difference, I Discovered, Between Wanting To Die And Not Wanting To Live. When You Want To Die, You At Least Have A Goal. When You Don't Want To Live, You're Really Just Empty. That's The Point I Was At Before I Was Able To Make.

If I Believed In An Outside Force That We Wanted To Call God - And I Believe That There Is One. I Think God Would Appreciate What I Say, Because I Can't See God Wanting To Create A World Full Of Idiots

I'm Completely Unlike A Lot Of Other Performers In The Past Who Have Been Forgiven Or Come To Terms With The Real World Because They Tell Everyone Their Performance Is 'just A Show.' And So, People Say, 'oh, It's Ok Then. We Don't Care. He's Not Really A Bad Person.' It's Not Just A Show For Me. It's My Life.

Anyone I May Have Used Should Feel Happy That They Even Had A Use. It's Better Than Being Useless.

Things Have Become Devalued To The Point Where People Don't Realize The Repercussions, That They're Devaluing Themselves. It Could End Up Bringing About Chaos, A Lawless Situation.

Music Is The Strongest Form Of Magic.

Your Beautiful Don't Let Anyone Tell You Different

I'm Not Anything Like Brad Pitt Or Antonio Banderas, But Maybe It's The Taboo Element Of My Image, Which Is Almost Deathlike, That Attracts Them. I Should Be The Last Person That [people] Should Be Attracted To.

It Says Right Here You've Got To Be Saved To Go To Heaven. But The Way I See It, You've Only Got To Be Yourself To Go To Hell.

I Remember Growing Up, Saying You’re An Artist It Sounds Pretentious But Now It’s One Of The Only Dignified Things That You Can Call Yourself.

I Don't Need To Drive. I Have No Business Driving. I Would Never Be Able To Find My Keys.

I Wasn't Born With Enough Middle Fingers

I Like To Make People Think Differently Than They Did Before I Walked In The Room.

A Story Might Sell If There's A Headline Like 'marilyn Manson Admits To Being Satanic', All The Little Hypocrites Will Go And Buy The Magazine, Read About What Evil, Weird People We Are And Will Feel Better About Themselves.

I'm So Famous, People Expect Me To Sell As Many Records As Celine Dion Or Puff Daddy.

Anybody Who Does Not Evolve Can Become A Self-parody. I Have To Evolve On A Daily Basis Just To Keep My Own Interest In What I Do.

For Me, Art Is Supposed To Be A Question Mark.

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.

To Me, Satan Ultimately Represents Rebellion.

If One More 'journalist' Makes A Cavalier Statement About Me And My Band, I Will Personally Or With My Fans' Help, Greet Them At Their Home And Discover Just How Much They Believe In Their Freedom Of Speech.

Freedom Of Speech

I Believe A Lot About Psychology, Or I'd Like To Learn About It - I'm Someone Who Likes To Learn About Everything.

Spare Time Is Like Spare Change. It's Hard To Quantify, The Definition Of That Phrase. What Do I Do When I'm Not Onstage Singing, Or Sleeping, With Or Without Someone Else? I Watch Movies.

I'm Not Against God, I'm Against The Misuse Of God.

It Wouldn't Even Make You Gay If You Had Sex With Johnny Depp, 'cause It's Johnny Depp.

Marilyn Manson Is A Mockery Of American Pop Culture.

I Always Felt, Rather Than Play By The Mainstream Standards, We've Always Done What We Do And The Mainstream Has Finally Decided To, Like That But, We've Only Gotten More Extreme So, The Band Hasn't Got More Commercial, It's Just That More People Understand Where We're Coming From So More People Are In To It.

Thinking For Yourself - That's Scarier Than Any Devil Image.

Fear Is Something I Instill In Other People, Mostly Young Girls.

My Mom Was Always A Big Fan Of Elvis. She Made Me Listen To Elvis When I Was A Kid. I Hated It. And I Think Now I've Kind Of Grown Up To Fill In Some Of The Sort Of Controversy That He Created Back In His Day, But In A Much More Extreme, Modern Sense.

I Wanna Die Young And Sell My Soul, Use Up All Your Drugs And Make Me Come.

Sell Your Soul To Yourself. You'll Make More Money.

This Is The Culture You're Raising Your Kids In. Don't Be Surprised If It Blows Up In Your Face.

When All Of Your Wishes Are Granted, Many Of Your Dreams Will Be Destroyed.

Gradually, I Began To Resent Christian School And Doubt Everything I Was Told. It Became Clear That The Suffering They Were Praying To Be Released From Was A Suffering They Had Imposed On Themselves—and Now Us. The Beast They Lived In Fear Of Was Really Themselves: It Was Man, Not Some Mythological Demon, That Was Going To Destroy Man In The End. And This Beast Had Been Created Out Of Their Fear.

You Can Find Inspiration For Man's Behaviour Wherever You Look.

If Your Reality Is The Same As My Reality, Then You're In Trouble.

We Are The Things And Shapes To Come, Your Freedom's Not Free Of Dumb.

I Don't Like Fun, It Upsets Me.

My Dad Loves What I Do And I Support My Parents Financially Because They Didn't Have A Job That Gave Them A Pension.

Rumors, Stories... I'm Used To Them. I Got My Ribs Removed, I Was On 'the Wonder Years'... You Know There's A Different Story Every Day.

As A Kid I Had Buck Teeth And Braces And Acne. I Hated What I Saw. I'm Still Not Comfortable, But That's Why I Change And Adapt The Way I Look.

The Most Genius Ideas Are In The Minds Of Children And Lunatics. I Describe Myself As Somewhere In Between.

Man's Greatest Fear Is Chaos.

I Think Every Man And Woman Is A Star. It's Just A Matter Of Realizing And Becoming It. It's All A Matter Of Willpower. The World Is Just How You See It. If You Want To Have Other People Tell You How To See It, Then You Can. But If You Want To Look At It Differently, Then It's Limitless What You Can Do. That's Why I Don't Feel The Need To Be One Person. I Can Be As Many People As I Like.

The Point Is That Life For Me Is Not Going To Be The Way It Is For Everyone Else. I Have A Fog Machine And Movie Lights In My Bedroom.

If I Had To Do A Record Review, I'd Say It's Got A Cannibal, Consumption, Obsessive, Violent-sex, Romance Angle, But With An Upbeat Swing To It.

If You Want To Find Out Who Your Real Friends Are, Sink The Ship. The First Ones To Jump Aren't Your Friends.

Who Your Friends Are

I Used To Have Nightmares About The Antichrist - What Would Happen, Where It Would Come From, And Who It Would Be.

Let The Ugly Light Of The World In, We Are No Longer Blind.

The Burden Of Originality Is One That Most People Don't Want To Accept. They'd Rather Sit In Front Of The Tv And Let That Tell Them What They're Supposed To Like, What They're Supposed To Buy, And What They're Supposed To Laugh At.

You'll Understand When I'm Dead.

Jesus Is A Half-naked Guy, Hanging, Nailed To A Cross, And Then People Wear That Around Their Neck, And Then Those Are The People That Are Upset About Violence In Movies.

Occasionally, Something Will Happen That Will Change Your Opinion Of Someone Irrevocably, That Will Shatter The Ideal You've Built Up Around A Person And Force You To See Them For The Fallible And Human Creature That They Really Are.

If Everyone Can Make Music. Make Better Music.

These People Are Artists. These People Are Musicians. They're Taking It Out And Trying To Express It That Way.

I Heard This Album As Finished, I Heard It In Dreams . . . It Was Like The Revelations Of John The Baptist Or Something.

Things Like, People Saying The New Album Would Debut At Number One On The Billboard Charts In The U.s. And I Said, "no It's Gonna Be Number Three." Because Number 3 Is A Very Powerful Number On The Album. It's Repeated Quite Often. Then It Did Chart An Number 3. Was It A Coincidence You Decide. If Your In Touch With Your Subconscious, You Can Really Use It To Your Advantage

It Happens Every Millennium. Now More Than Ever, Man Threatens To Destroy Himself With His Own Technology, And All The Ideas Contained Within Big Brother Exist Within Little Brother. We're All Watching Ourselves. We Are Our Own Oppressors. This Is A Time When An Idea Like God Is Needed More Than Ever. For Me, I've Found That God Exists Within Yourself And What You Create. The Only Thing We've Got To Look Forward To Is Saving Ourselves

I Try And Take Everyone's Ideals, Common Morals, Flip Them Around, Make People Look At Them Differently, Question Them, So That You're Not Always Taking Things For Granted.

Seance To Renaissance. So It Begins

I Don't Want To Feel Like I've Matured. That's A Stupid Word That I Never Want To Use.

If Someone Listens To Our Music, And It Makes Them Creative, That Makes Me Happier Than Anything.

I Think People Have Always Misinterpreted My Self-destructive Nature As Nihilistic, Because If You Don't Care About The World, You Can't Create Art. I Am Misanthropic And Self-loathing, But Never Nihilistic. And I Think I Act Far Worse Off-stage Than Onstage.

As Far As The Performance Goes, I Want To Create An Atmosphere, And Use 5.1 Sound And Imagery And Shape And Form To Transform The Stage From One Thing To Another, As If You're Watching A Movie.

I Speak In Reality. I Don't Try To Hide Anything From Anybody, And That's The Most Dangerous Thing About Our Music That Parents Are So Afraid Of.

I Care About The People I Know And Love The Most, But I Also Care About What The People I Don't Know Think In The Sense That I Want Them To Think And Understand Me In A Certain Way. I Don't Base My Life Around Either One, And I Don't Change The Way I Live To Please Either Set Of People, But I Do Care.

I Don't Know Which Me That I Love, Got No Reflection.

Do Not Seek Death, Seek Destruction.

There's A Lot Of Talk In Some Of The Other Versions Of The Bible, The Hebrew Versions, And Things About The End Of The World Not Being A Punishment From God, But Being An Invitation From Mankind. That Mankind Has To Invite Its Own Destruction. And I Think That's Very True, And It's Almost Very American. I Think That's The Type Of Society We're In And It's People's Very Fear Of The Antichrist That Has Created It

We Don't Like To Kill Our Unborn; We Need Them To Grow Up And Fight Our Wars.

Don't Ever Empty The Bucket Of Mystery. Never Let People Define What You Do. It's Not About Zigging When You Should Zag. It's Not About Doing Something Unprecedented And Unpredictable. It's Just About Never Being A Word, Or Something That Is Not In The Process Of Transformation...

When Someone Was Willing To Drown With Me, I Really Didn't Want To Drown Anymore.

I'm Not Afraid To Express The Different Elements Of My Personality, And I Think There's A Bad Habit In America Now To, Label People Having Multiple Personalities, Things Like This, But It's, I Feel Like, Even On The Album I Describe Myself As A Hydra Which Is, Many Heads, Many Different Personalities.i Don't Think You Need To Be One Specific Person When You Can Be Many.

Everything Is Acting.

I Say No To Drugs, But They Don't Listen.

Say No To Drugs

If You Lose Who You Are, What Do You Have?

We Are Our Own Wicked Gods With Little 'g's' And Big Dicks, Sadistic And Constantly Inflicting A Slow Demise.

Music Critics Get Their Records For Free So Their Opinions Usually Don't Matter.

I've Always Been Paranoid About The Police, Because Even When I'm Not Doing Anything Illegal, I'm Thinking About Doing Something Illegal. So, Whenever I'm Around A Cop, I Get Uncomfortable And Nervous, Worried That I'll Say The Wrong Thing Or Look So Guilty They'll Arrest Me Anyway. Being Completely Out Of My Mind On Drugs Doesn't Help The Situation Any.

I've Seen My Own Death In Dreams Like This And It's Helped Me Appreciate Life More. I've Also Seen My Own Life In Dreams And It's Helped Me Appreciate Death More.

If You Really Feel Hatred For Someone, And Kind Of Send It Their Way, Then It’s Out Of Your System And In Their Hands. I Always Think It’s Therapeutic.

I Don't Think We Should Ever Regret Anything We Do. I Think We Have To Accept The Consequences And You Learn From Your Mistakes, And That's How You Grow As A Person

I Do Have A Lot Of Sexual Imagery In My Performance. But I Don't Think It's Ever Encouraging Anyone To Have Sex. I Think I Just Show My Own Sexuality, But I Don't Think I've Ever Really Written About Having Sex Or Anything Like That.

I Eat Innocent Meat, The House Wife I Will Beat, The Prolife I Will Kill. What You Won't Do, I Will.

People Love To Judge, As Long As They Have Somebody Else To Judge They Don't Give In And Answer With Hate Would Drag Me Down, It Would Simply Put Me Into The Same Position They Are, I Don't Believe That Their Position Is An Enviable One!

The Advantage Of The Internet Is That It Has Taken Away The Charade Of Politics. China Has Heard Of Democracy And People Know About Certain Concepts They Wouldn't Have Previously.

If God Does Exist, It's In Music And In Art, I Think There's More Spiritually In What I Do Than In A Lot Of Religious Groups Judging, Especially In The Way They've Treated Me In The Past Couple Of Years. I've Grown Tired Of Talking About Religion. It's Time For Me To Move On. I'm Trying To Redefine The Idea Of Spirituality And Make It Now Such A Bad Word For Myself, Because I Find That I Sound Really Stupid Saying It Sometimes

Christians Are A Lot Like Dinosaurs - About To Become Extinct.

I Walked Away Exhilarated By My Success, Because There's Nothing Like Making A Difference In Someone's Life, Even If That Difference Is A Lifetime Of Nightmares And A Fortune In Therapy Bills.

Making A Difference

The Internet Is A Very Powerful Tool, But Right Now It's Being Handled By A Lot Of Fools. And I Think Us Together, Marilyn Manson As A Whole, What We All Stand For, Should Be The Biggest Spider On The Web. I Think That It Will Become Our Web. Not Something That Uses Us, But Something That We Will Control

They'll Just Cut Our Wrists Like Cheap Coupons And Say That Death Was On Sale Today.

Art Is A Big Question Mark.

Stop Praying. Start Thinking.

Apart From A Very Close Circle Of Friends, Few People Know My True Self, And It's Normal, I Never Put It Into My Music.

If We're Bringing Up Kids That Are So Stupid That They Kill Themselves Because Of A Song, What Good Are The Kids In The First Place ?

Image And Music Always Works Together For Me. I Think They're Equally Important And I've Always Done Things In A Way That People Remember Them By, But I Don't Set Out To Just Shock People...because That's Very Easy, A Lot Of People Could Do That, I Just Like To Do Things The Way That Makes Me Happy Really. And Sometimes That's Too Much For Certain People, But, You Know, I Try To Push The Envelope To Make The Boundaries Wider As Far As What You Can And Can't Do In Music.

Working Together

Marriage Changes Everything.

If I Hadn't Gone To A Private Christian School, I'd Never Have Built Up Enough Animosity To Want To Have Started A Band. And Now That I Have One, The Fact That They Are Giving Me Such Resistance And Publicity, They Have Made Me Far Bigger Than They'd Ever Have Wanted Me To Have Become. So I Guess In A Strange Way The Christians Have Influenced Me The Most.

Whether You Interpret The Bible As Literature Or As The Final Word Of Whatever God May Be, Christianity Has Given Us An Image Of Death And Sexuality That We Have Based Our Culture Around. A Half-naked Dead Man Hangs In Most Homes And Around Our Necks, And We Have Just Taken That For Granted All Of Our Lives.

Hopefully, I'll Be Remembered As The Person Who Brought An End To Christianity.

I'm Not A Believer Of The "perfect World" Tv Tries To Feed Us.

I Always Had The Desire To Entertain People, Whether It Was To Make 'em Laugh Or To Scare 'em Or Stir Things Up Just To Cause Problems.

I Often Obsess So Much About Things That I Can't Get Done, That I Ruin Other Things.

There Is Good And Evil Within All Of Us, And I Enjoy Searching To Bring That Out Through My Music. I Like It That There Are Questions Brought Out By My Music. People Must Look Inside Themselves For The Answers

People Expect Me To Me A 'shock Rocker,' But There's Nothing You Can Do Anymore To Be Shocking.

I Wanna Outrace The Speed Of Pain.

You Should Have To Pass An Iq Test Before You Breed. You Have To Take A Driving Test To Operate Vehicles And An Sat Test To Get Into College. So Why Don’t You Have To Take Some Sort Of Test Before You Give Birth To Children? When I Am President, That’s The First Rule I Will Institute.

Hate Today, No Love For Tomorrow

As A Kid I Just Felt Like An Outsider.

My Father Had A Very Violent Temper, And He Was Never Home. So I Was Kind Of A Mama's Boy.

As A Kid I Was, Constantly Terrorized With The Idea Of Armageddon And The Antichrist And Things Like That And As I Got Older, I Realized That, Something Like Antichrist Is The Collective Disbelief In God.

I`m Not A Slave To A God That Doesn`t Exist.

I Feel Like I've Dreamed Half Of My Life That Hasn't Happened Yet, So A Lot Of Times I'm Going Along, And I Do Stuff, And I Know That I've Done It. I Have Deja Vus More Than I Have Regular Experiences. If Half Of Your Day Is A Deja Vu, Then You Start To Wonder, 'what Is Real And What Isn't?'

I've Been Able To Watch And To Weather A Lot Of Different Periods In Entertainment, Politics And Life.

I Fall In Love With Everything I Also Hate Everything. It’s Very Hard To Be A Misanthrope And A Romantic.

Falling In Love

There's Days When I'd Love Everybody To Relize That Things Have Gone Too Far, And We Need To Be Born Again...but There Are Other Days When I Think The World Deserves To Be Destroyed. Why Should I Help Anybody? Everybody's Stepped On Me My Whole Life.
