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.
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.
The most outragous thing that I could imagine ever doing is putting on a pair of jeans and going to the shopping mall for my lunch
NO WE ARE NOT DEVIL WORSHIPPERS!!! I've never been and never will be a satan worshipper or someone who worships a devil.
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'
Watching movies is my one distraction.
I believe a lot about psychology, or I'd like to learn about it - I'm someone who likes to learn about everything.
I don't think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves.
Antichrist Superstar is also about me wanting to grow up and be something that people would adore...instead I grew up and became something that people hated.
I was never afriad of what was under the bed. I wanted it but never got it. I became it.
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 did have a Huggy Beardoll. One of his legs fell off. That empty leg became a place where, when we were doing a lot of drugs on tour at one point, we would store the drugs in his empty leg. That's where the term 'dancing with the one-legged man' on Smells Like Children came from, because whenever anyone was doing drugs we called it the 'dance of the one-legged man.' That became a ritualistic thing that was funny for awhile.
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.
People alway ask me what advantages fame has started to bring; there are always plenty of free drinks, but other times people wanna put stuff into your drink to kill you off. Their gonna have to try a lot harder if they want to get me.
