Everything that I think is good is bad, and everything that I think is bad is good.
And I never missed one concert. In 89 shows, I think I did one a bit suspect show. In the old days, I'd pull gigs left, right and center because I was too f - - up.
My idea of what God should be is a good guy. I don't think there's any good in killing people in the name of your God.
I think if a man can create something like an atom bomb, he can surely create something with his own mind.
If you go out for a drink, you go out for a drink. You don't think, 'I'll have a few pints. I'll piss up this shrine.'
I love my wife. We've had a few slings and arrows across the room, but I'm not prepared to give in, you know? People say she saved my life, but at the same time, I saved her life, as well, I think. She's a great mother, she's a great wife, she's a great worker, she's a great manager. She's just great.
My son Jack once said to me, 'Dad, do you think people are laughing with you or at you?' And I said, 'I don't care as long as they're laughing.'
I'm not the kind of person you think I am, I'm not the anti-Christ, or the iron man.
I think MTV should consider using subtitles. Half the time, even I can't understand what the fu*k I'm talking about.
I don't know if I'm a medium for some outside source. Whatever it is, frankly, I hope it's not what I think … Satan.
I didn't think anything we did was spectacular. I remember we thought, Let's just write some scary music.
People think I'm crazy, but I'm in demand.
I've got many, many demons that affect me on many, many levels. A few years ago, I was convinced of that - I thought I truly was possessed by the devil. I remember sitting through the Exorcist a dozen times, saying to myself, 'Yeah, I can relate to that. I really wish I knew why I've done some of the things I've done over the years. I don't know if I'm a medium for some outside source. Whatever it is, frankly, I hope it's not what I think it is - Satan.”
At 18 if someone had said to me, 'I think you should go to rehab,' I would have thought, 'You're #*&!@ mad'.
