Singer

I'm not going to be some kind of PC, tree-hugger.

I've started to think that maybe I wouldn't mind passing my demented genius on to some small thing who can set fire and breathe profanity.

I went to one AA meeting and I got asked for an autograph.

For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.

I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.

I'm not a role model. I'm a role villain.

I don't encourage people to choose any sort of sexuality.

My father had a very violent temper, and he was never home. So I was kind of a mama's boy.

My feelings are, if you're gonna lead a rock n' roll lifestyle, don't let it affect your work. I know I can stay up all night and still come in the next day and write a song, and nothing will stop me from doing it. I expect the same from everyone else.

From Jesse James to Charles Manson, the media, since their inception, have turned criminals into folk heroes.

I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.

When you want to die, you at least have a goal. You're aiming for something. It's not a good goal, but at least you want something. And you've got anger and fear, but at least you're feeling something.

It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record.

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.

Sacrifice to me is something you do without expecting something in return.

I used to have nightmares about the Antichrist - what would happen, where it would come from, and who it would be.

Sometimes you feel awkward being what you're best at, you feel like you have to be something new.

Man's greatest fear is chaos.

I fall in love very easily.

I did vote Obama. But I've never believed in the authenticity of the two-party system.
