If your reality is the same as my reality, then you're in trouble.
I view my job as being someone who is supposed to piss people off. I don't want to be just one-of-the-guys. I don't want to be just a smiling face you see on television presenting some vapid kind of easily-digestible garbage.
Society has traditionally always tried to find scapegoats, well here I am.
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.
Enjoy your faults, that's what separates you from the rest of the world.
We are the things and shapes to come, your freedom's not free of dumb.
Actors always want to be musicians, and musicians want to be actors
Art gives people a reason to be alive.
Everybody feels like [a misfit] at different points in their life. If you feel like who you are is right for you, then you are beautiful.
I wanna outrace the speed of pain.
I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion.
Multiply your death, divide by sex, add up your violence, what do you get?
I never wanted it to end this way, but flies will lay their eggs.
Let the ugly light of the world in, we are no longer blind.
