You cannot sedate all the things you hate.

I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.

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.

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.

It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different.

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.

The balance between good and evil, and the choices we make between them, are probably the single most important aspects shaping our personalities and humanity.
