We love cats more than we love women [with Marilyn Manson].

Rock and Roll is still asking people like me to live up to the old guard's concept of what success is but it doesn't mean anything.

In my case I don't mind playing a character that irritates people or makes people question my sanity.

Been there, done that, seen it, heard it, pissed on it.

The mythology in rock n' roll is that I'm a bit of a loose cannon. Yet I've produced more music than anybody in my generation. So how much of a loose cannon am I? But the general public believes that I'm a loose cannon, so let them believe it. I'm not going to correct them.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.
