I've never written songs about relationships. I've written songs about how I feel. The songs are more about me, than another person. That's the way I like to look at it.
There's days when I'd love everybody to relize that things have gone too far, and we need to be born again...but there are other days when I think the world deserves to be destroyed. Why should I help anybody? Everybody's stepped on me my whole life.
I'm everything they are afraid of. Everything they hate. Everything they try to hide and a lot more. Besides, I speak my mind and show people what's out there in reality.
If you dont educate your kids... I will.
Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs - Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It's kind of a secret. People say to us, 'Why did you get that?' And we say, 'No reason.'
I was very apprehensive, mostly because I didn’t want to get caught. By now, I had begun to feel removed from the everyday world of morality. Guilt had become more a fear of getting caught than any sense of right or wrong.
For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.
That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.
I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.
It's not like I turn off Marilyn Manson and I'm an everyday guy who goes and has another job and doesn't think about any of this stuff. Marilyn Manson is the most real thing that can come from me.
Sometimes hate is not enough to turn this all to ashes, together as one and against all others, break all of their wings to make sure it crashes.
Let the ugly light of the world in, we are no longer blind.
I think confidence is the most appealing quality in any human being or any artist; that's what really attracts us to people.
I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
If a kid is old enough to drive a car or buy a gun, isn't he old enough to be held personally responsible for what he does with his car or gun? Or if he's a teenager, should someone else be blamed because he isn't as enlightened as an eighteen-year-old?
We will no longer be oppressed by the fascism called Christianity. We will no longer be oppressed by the mentality of the police state.
My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.
If i believed in an outside force that we wanted to call God - and i believe that there is one. i think God would appreciate what i say, because i can't see God wanting to create a world full of idiots
Watching movies is my one distraction.
I'm not afraid to express the different elements of my personality, and I think there's a bad habit in America now to, label people having multiple personalities, things like this, but it's, I feel like, even on the album I describe myself as a hydra which is, many heads, many different personalities.I don't think you need to be one specific person when you can be many.
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 have something that makes me happy on some level and this is a good way for me to deal with the torment of that teenage life gave me
America puts killers on the cover of Time magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars.
Art, to me, is a question. It should never be an answer.
Art gives people a reason to be alive.
