As far as the performance goes, I want to create an atmosphere, and use 5.1 sound and imagery and shape and form to transform the stage from one thing to another, as if you're watching a movie.

Thinking for yourself - that's scarier than any devil image.

America puts killers on the cover of Time magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars.

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.

I don't think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves.

Anyone who thinks they're happy should really see a doctor, because there is no reason to be happy.

Everything is acting.
