I find that most people [in social media] just want me to say "happy birthday" to their mom or wish them good luck with their exams.

The best thing you can do is work on your personality because we're all gonna get ugly.

Every freak has a mother. When I met Marilyn Manson I was struck by how nice he was. People are rarely as weird as you anticipate. Except for Courtney Love-who reminded me of that mad snake in The Jungle Book.

There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved.

I exercise. I go to the gym every day. It's about respecting what you're doing. You're going on stage. You have to sleep. You have to be prepared.

The most political thing you can do is be yourself

Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.
