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.

If you act like a rock star, you will be treated like one

I was becoming the cold, emotionally crippled monster I always wanted to be, and I wasn’t so sure I liked it. But it was too late. The metamorphosis was already well under way.

My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way.

You'll understand when I'm dead.

I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.

If anybody wants to be a rock star they've gotta try hard enough. They're not gonna get it handed to them
