I believe in dreams. I believe that every night on the planet everything that is, was and can be is dreamt. I believe that what happens in dreams is no different no less important than what happens in the waking world. I believe that dreams are the closest equvalent present-day mankind has to trime travel.

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.

I don't care if your world is ending today because I wasn't invited to it anyway.

It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.

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.

Find what you are afraid of, face it, and then you won't be afraid of it anymore.

If I were in a room full of people, I'd rather be the person who is more interesting than the one who is wallpaper.
