I'm Just Here For The Narcotics.

Actors Always Want To Be Musicians, And Musicians Want To Be Actors

Donohue: "it Is Christianity That [manson] Hates, And It Is Catholicism That He Hates Most Of All. This Guy Is At War With Christ." Manson: "i Can't Possibly Be At War With Christ, Because Your Religion Killed Him And What He Stood For. But If You Want To Be At War With Me, Bring It On."

The Idea Of Marilyn Manson Has Been Brewing In My Head, One Form Or Another, Since I Was About 12 Years Old At A Christian High School In Canton, Ohio.

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 Am A Character, So That's The Problem. There Are Many, Many Levels To How I Behave. Some People Might Associate Being Marilyn Manson As Having Lipstick On, But I Don't Really Have Some Sort Of Other Lifestyle.

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 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.

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

Art Is The Free Expression Of The Artist And They Tried To Stop Us From Expressing Ourselves, Our Art.

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.

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.

I'd Seen The Led Zeppelin Reunion And I've Never Been Such A Huge Led Zeppelin Fan As Much As The Doors Or Beatles. I Went And Saw The Reunion And Watching Them Play "stairway To Heaven," It Was Very Breathtaking For One Reason Mostly. I Can Imagine These Two Guys Looking At Each Other, Robert Plant And Jimmy Page. Not To Compare Us To Led Zeppelin, But I Did Miss The Fact That I Could Look Over At The Guy, Twiggy Ramirez, That Wrote "the Beautiful People" And "dope Show." Emotionally, It's Taken A Long Time To Repair That.

There Was Definitely A Lack Of Any Sort Of Villain In The Clinton Era, Which Is Why When Columbine Happened, It Was Easy To Pick On Me. My Face Was Around And It Made Good Tv.

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.

I Was Very Apprehensive, Mostly Because I Didn’t Want To Get Caught. By Now, I Had Begun To Feel Removed From The Everyday World Of Morality. Guilt Had Become More A Fear Of Getting Caught Than Any Sense Of Right Or Wrong.

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

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

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

I Fear Being Like Everyone I Hate, I Fear Failure, I Fear Losing Control. I Love Balancing Between Chaos And Control With Everything I Do. I Always Have A Fear Of Going One Way Or Another, Getting Lost In Something, Or Losing Everything To Get Lost In. And I Fear Being A Completely Acceptable Sheep In Society.

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.

Times Have Not Become More Violent. They Have Just Become More Televised.

Watching Movies Is My One Distraction.

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.

A Lot Of People Don't Think About It, But The Bible Has Every Horror Element That You Can Imagine. It's Got The Devil, The Antichrist, Lucifer, And Satan - Which Are Four Different Characters. It's Got The End Of The World. You've Got Zombies, Giants, Demon Possession, A Lot Of Murder.

I Don't Want To Have A Gravestone. I Want To Have All My Friends Burn Me And Then Snort The Ashes. I Think That's The Only Way To Go Out.

My Dad Being A Salesman Taught Me You Can Sell Anybody Anything If You've Got The Ability To Believe.

What Nearly Everybody In My Life Had Misunderstood About Satanism Was That It Is Not About Ritual Sacrifices, Digging Up Graves And Worshipping The Devil. The Devil Doesn't Exist. Satanism Is About Worshipping Yourself, Because You Are Responsible For Your Own Good And Evil.

It's My Job To Be The Pierrot, The Clown, In The Theatrical Sense.

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?

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

Finding Someone

I Am Drawn To Women Who Are Independent And Creative, Which Is Problematic Because It's A Struggle, A Competition Of Careers. There's Jealousy.

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.

I Fall In Love Very Easily.

Falling In Love

Sometimes Hate Is Not Enough To Turn This All To Ashes, Together As One And Against All Others, Break All Of Their Wings To Make Sure It Crashes.

Art, To Me, Is A Question. It Should Never Be An Answer.

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

Without The Threat Of Death, There's No Reason To Live... At All.

The Whole Concept Of This Band Is To Present The Ugly Truth About Society - Warts And All, And Let The Chips Fall Where They May.

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

Close Mindedness

For Me It's Very Important To Express My Thoughts, The Pictures I Carry Inside Of Me, Maybe Because It's Important To Get Them Out.

What Happens Someday If More People Own My Record Than The Bible? That Will Make Me God Because A Lot More People Believe In Me Than Him? Because It's Just About Popularity. There Are Plenty Of People In The World How Have Never Heard Of Jesus, While America Takes Him For Granted.

I Don't Try To Be Bad As Much As I Just Am By Nature.

It's Not Like I Turn Off Marilyn Manson And I'm An Everyday Guy Who Goes And Has Another Job And Doesn't Think About Any Of This Stuff. Marilyn Manson Is The Most Real Thing That Can Come From Me.

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.

Marilyn Manson Has Always Been Intended To Confuse Some, Anger Some And Make Some People Feel At Home. There's No Way To Misunderstand What I Do - But Everyone Can Understand It Differently. That's The Only Way I've Learned To Embrace Art - It Has To Be A Question Mark, Not An Answer.

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.

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

I'm Tired Of People Calling Me A Devil Worshipper. It's Kind Of Pointless You Know. Because If The Devil Did Exist, He'd Be Worshipping Me, Because I'm More Successful Than He Is.

You Can't Force Someone To See The Truth, Just Like You Can't Force A Blind Man To See.

People Drink To Numb The Pain And Suffering. I Think It's The Pain And Suffering That Drive You To Become An Artist. The Art Itself Should Be The Pain, Sort Of Exorcising Every Demon And Making You Feel Like You're A Person That Matters.

I've Never Treated Anyone In My Band Like They're Not On The Same Level As Me. I'm Not That Kind Of Person.

Everybody Feels Like [a Misfit] At Different Points In Their Life. If You Feel Like Who You Are Is Right For You, Then You Are Beautiful.

I Hate Therefore I Am...

I Traveled Into The Future To Get Back In Time.

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

I Think Guilt Is The Biggest Problem In America, People Are Always Feeling Guilty About Being Themselves. You Can't Say What You Want Because It's Not Politically Correct. You Can't Look Like You Want Because You, The People At The Office Aren't Going To Like You And So On.

I'm Absolutely Not Looking For Someone Who Agrees With Me About Everything Or Someone Who Wants To Please Me By Believing What I Believe.

It Isn’t Hard To Find A Person Whom I Could Fall In Love With, To Give Her Romance. But It’s Hard To Find Such A Person Who Would Understand Your View On Life, Accept Who You Really Are And Would Truly Care For You.

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.

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

I've Always Had A Desire To Be Provocative And To Make People Think, But It Wouldn't Be Any Challenge For Me Just To Be Shocking. That Is Where It Begins For Me, Not Where It Stops. And I Could Be Much More Shocking. I Think I've Adopted A Sense Of Subtlety. I Don't Sit Around Wondering How I Can Make Myself Even Stranger To The World. I've Simply Evolved Into The Monster I Created, And I'm Quite Happy With It.

One Hates What One Fears.

As A Kid I Just Felt Like An Outsider.

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.

I Didn't Go To Guitar School And I Don't Know How To Play Chords, But I Can Do It In My Own Way And I Think Sometimes That Will Piss Off Some Guitar Players Who Sit Around Playing Their Stuff All Day Long And Then There Are People Who Like That.

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.

Once I Threw A Water Bottle From The Stage Into The Audience, And It Hit Tony Bennett In The Head. It Was A Special Moment For Me.

Nothing's Gonna Change The World, Nothing's Gonna Change The World. There Was Lennon And A Happy Gun, There Were Words On The Pavement.

If Things Are Too Perfect, People Are Always So Afraid That It's Going To Change, So They Ruin It Themselves.

I've Never Treated Anyone In My Band Like They're Not On The Same Level As Me. I'm Not That Kind Of Person. In The Past, I Have Disrespected People In My Band And That Was My Weakness. I Think Some People Have A Hard Time Understanding How I Think.

My Fans Make Me Feel As Young As They Are. We Share The Same Spirit And I Share Their Outlook On Life

Outlook On Life

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

I Did Vote Obama. But I've Never Believed In The Authenticity Of The Two-party System.

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.

Art Is A Big Question Mark.

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.

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.

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

Kids Need To Start Thinking For Themselves. Not To Be Like Their Friends That Think They're Individuals. I Don't Want You To Be Like Us, I Want You To Be Like You.

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

Marriage Changes Everything.

To Me, Columbine Is Just As Awful As Vietnam And It's Just As Awful As Anything Else.

In A Sense, Terrorism Blossomed In The Advent Of Television. Television Promotes Terrorism In Religion And In Politics.

I Was Always Trying To Do Different Things To Entertain People. And At The Same Time, I Think, I Was, Whether Subconsciously Or Not, Trying To Get Kicked Out Of School Because I Hated It So Much.

Do Not Seek Death, Seek Destruction.

The Internet Is The Trailer Park For The Soul.

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.

I'll Pretend That I Want You For What Is On The Inside.

I View My Job As Being Someone Who Is Supposed To Piss People Off. I Don't Want To Be Just One-of-the-guys. I Don't Want To Be Just A Smiling Face You See On Television Presenting Some Vapid Kind Of Easily-digestible Garbage.

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.

I Can't Satisfy Myself With Just Trying To Tie All Of My Imagination Into Music, Especially When Music Is Not Appreciated As An Art Form As Much As It Used To Be.

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 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'm Kind Of Shy, And I Think That I Take That Out By Performing In Front Of A Lot Of People. That's How I Get Out My Shyness.

If You Die And Enough People Are Watching, Then You Become A Martyr, You Become A Hero, You Become Well-known.

My Desire Is To Be Pure Again And Not Dirtied By The World. But It's My Duty To Be As Ugly And As Filthy As I Am, So The Audience Can Experience What I Have.

You Have To Really Swallow Your Pride And Admit That You Want To Make A Comeback. And That Means That You Weren't At Your Best And I Feel Like I Stopped Being Who I Needed To Be. When I Started Making This Record "born Villain", I Didn't Want To Be What I Used To Be But I Certainly Didn't Want To Be What I Was At The Time. I Knew That I Was Supposed To Be Something Better Then What I Was. I Feel That I Am Close To Being What I'm Supposed To Be And Am Enjoying What I'm Doing Here.

I Think Everybody's Got A Presentation. Everybody Looks A Certain Way Because They Want To Convey A Certain Image. You Look A Certain Way Because You Want People To Listen To You In A Certain Way.

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

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.

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.

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.

If You Act Like A Rock Star, You Will Be Treated Like One

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

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.

Society Has Traditionally Always Tried To Find Scapegoats, Well Here I Am.

Sometimes You Feel Awkward Being What You're Best At, You Feel Like You Have To Be Something New.

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.

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

Say No To Drugs

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

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

I Don't Think That My Lyrics Are Over-laced With Profanity, Because I Myself Don't Speak Using A Lot Of Profanity In Normal Conversation. But I Think When You're Making Something Aggressive And You Need To Get A Point Across, If You're Angry, Sometimes Profanity Is Necessary. It's Better To Use A Curse Word Than To Hurt Somebody Else, I Find.

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.

People Hate To Describe Their Music. What We Have Come To Call It Is "beat Up Your Mom" Music. As Far As Describing What It Sounds Like, I Guess You'd Have To Listen.

I Wish That My Life Could Be Like The Movies, Like Bonnie And Clyde Or The Hunger Or Harold And Maude. And... It Can Be! It Maybe Just Takes Somebody Else Who Is As Fearless As You. It Takes A Person Who Will Not Hesitate.

When You're In A Relationship, If You Just Break It Down To Regular Terms, People Are Attracted To Something, And That's What They Want You To Be, And That's What You Should Just Be, And For Me, It's Very Simple - If I Meet A Girl And I Say, 'this Is What I Like About You. Just Continue. Every Day'

I Believe In Dreams. I Believe That Every Night On The Planet Everything That Is, Was And Can Be Is Dreamt. I Believe That What Happens In Dreams Is No Different No Less Important Than What Happens In The Waking World. I Believe That Dreams Are The Closest Equvalent Present-day Mankind Has To Trime Travel.

If Everyone Can Make Music. Make Better Music.

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

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

I Have Something That Makes Me Happy On Some Level And This Is A Good Way For Me To Deal With The Torment Of That Teenage Life Gave Me

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

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.

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

Comedians Have A Huge Carte Blanche And The Ability To Get Away With Saying A Lot Of Things.

Libido, Fascination, Too Much Oral Defecation. White Trash Get Down On Your Knees, Time For Cake And Sodomy.

I Don't Encourage People To Choose Any Sort Of Sexuality.

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

I Read All The Great Philosophers But Most People Just Hear What They Want To Hear And It Makes It Easy For Them To Brand Us Devil Worshippers.

As You Keep Getting More Popular, People Are Continually Wanting More From You And It Seems To Me That All They Want In The End Is Your Death.

I Chose Not To Jump Into The Media Frenzy And Defend Myself, Though I Was Begged To Be On Every Single Tv Show In Existence. They Want To Blame Entertainment? Isn't Religion The First Real Entertainment? People Dress Up In Costumes, Sing Songs And Dedicate Themselves In Eternal Fandom.

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

The Idea Of Heaven Is Christianity's Way Of Creating A Hell On Earth.

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

Stop Praying. Start Thinking.

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.

Better Pray For Hell, Not Hallelujah.

Is Adult Entertainment Killing Our Children? Or Is Killing Our Children Entertaining Our Adults?

My Pain's Not Ashamed To Repeat Itself

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

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

I'm Not Going To Be Some Kind Of Pc, Tree-hugger.

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

My Dream Of An Apocalypse That Was The Antichrist Superstar Has Unfolded. I Could See That They Only Looked And Acted Like Humans, But They Had Lost Their Souls, They Were Mechanical Animals

Multiply Your Death, Divide By Sex, Add Up Your Violence, What Do You Get?

In Music, You Feel A Connection To The Voice And Think About The Person Behind It. In Art That's Secondary.

Your Beautiful Don't Let Anyone Tell You Different

Marilyn Monroe Wasn't Even Her Real Name, Charles Manson Isn't His Real Name, And Now, I'm Taking That To Be My Real Name. But What's Real? You Can't Find The Truth, You Just Pick The Lie You Like The Best.

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.

If What You Do Is Being Threatened As A Profession, That Could Be Scary. But That's The Same Reason Why I Walked Out On Stage Many Times After Receiving Death Threats. I Couldn't Live Without Doing What I Wanted To Do. So At The Same Time I Have To Be Willing To Die For It.

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

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

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

When You're Taught To Love Everyone, To Love Your Enemies, Then What Value Does That Place On Love?

I Decided To Make Music Again At A Time When I Couldn't Have Had More Obstacles.

Anything Can Be Misinterpreted. People Can Look At Christ On A Cross And Think, This Is An Image Of Murder, This Is Violent, This Has Sexual Imagery In It. And It Just - I Think It's My Job As An Artist To Be Out There Pushing People's Buttons And Making Them Question Everything.

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 Can't Go To Sleep At Night If I Didn't Accomplish At Least Something. That's The One Thing That Keeps Me Up.

If People Are Going To Hate Me, I Want Them To Hate Me For The Right Reasons

To Me, Satan Ultimately Represents Rebellion.

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

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

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.

It's The Whole Nietzche Philosophy Of You Are Your Own God. That's Why I Debase Myself In The Concerts And Tell People To Spit On Me. I'm Saying To Them 'you Are No Different From Me'.

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!

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

This Question Is Posed To Mayself, Am I A Man Who Thinks He's An Angel? Or An Angel Who Thinks He's A Man?

When I Was A Kid I Think The Thing I Remembered Most About The Exorcist Was Linda Blair Being Possessed By The Devil, And How Scary That Was. It Had A Lot Of Parallels For Me Because The Movie Was Challenging Different Ideas About Faith And It Was Looking At Religion In A Darker Way. Growing Up I Was Afraid Of Being Possessed By The Devil, As An Adult I'm Afraid Of Being Possessed By The World, By Ignorance, And Not Holding On To My Beliefs And What I Feel Strongly About.

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