My dream of an apocalypse that was the Antichrist Superstar has unfolded. I could see that they only looked and acted like humans, but they had lost their souls, they were Mechanical Animals

I heard this album as finished, I heard it in dreams . . . It was like the revelations of John the Baptist or something.

Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.'

I can't turn off the way I think, and that's essentially who I am, who anybody is.

Your beautiful don't let anyone tell you different

Ultimately, because I'm an artist, I can't ever consider myself a nihilist, so I suppose I'm optimistic.

I fall in love with everything I also hate everything. It’s very hard to be a misanthrope and a romantic.
