I've never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person. In the past, I have disrespected people in my band and that was my weakness. I think some people have a hard time understanding how I think.

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

Multiply your death, divide by sex, add up your violence, what do you get?

The person who thinks I worship the devil and kill animals is just as important as someone who makes an interpretation that's closer to what I intended.

I don't want to feel like I've matured. That's a stupid word that I never want to use.

Stop praying. Start thinking.

And that's the type of thing I'm trying to speak out against the most, religion controlling what we see and what we do in our personal lives, even if you're not a part of that religion. Antichrist Superstar[the album] is a challenge really, to traditional morality and it's...to make people question that and make people think about different perspectives.
