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 believe that you are not stuck with a pre-destiny. I believe that there is ways to see all these things that are laid down in front of you and where you belong and to smack yourself in the face when you realize that you've strayed off your path and get back to where your path is.

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.

Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised.

I like to be unhinged; I like to be unpredictable. I like to make people worry that worse things can happen whenever I go out to a restaurant or act in a movie.

People only hate what they see in themselves.

When I was a kid I really didn't have my own opinions and then sort of transformed into this angel which is really Marilyn Manson and then the final stage is Antichrist Superstar which is the more nihilistic, totalitarian element in everybody's personality, that, is a real struggle on the album and in my life, between that power.
