I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.
I don't say things to be offensive; I say things because they're funny to me. It amuses me.
The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.
As a kid I just felt like an outsider.
I've been able to watch and to weather a lot of different periods in entertainment, politics and life.
For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.
If what you do is being threatened as a profession, that could be scary. But that's the same reason why I walked out on stage many times after receiving death threats. I couldn't live without doing what I wanted to do. So at the same time I have to be willing to die for it.
Yes, I'm reckless and sometime express no concern for my own well being, and I express a misanthropic view of the world, but to have an opinion, you can't be a nihilist.
To me, Satan ultimately represents rebellion.
I like to be unhinged; I like to be unpredictable. I like to make people worry that worse things can happen whenever I go out to a restaurant or act in a movie.
People expect me to me a 'shock rocker,' but there's nothing you can do anymore to be shocking.
I'm not a role model. I'm a role villain.
My dad being a salesman taught me you can sell anybody anything if you've got the ability to believe.
I've never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person.
I've found a woman I can relate to. That's something - and I don't even feel sappy saying it - that, if anyone has that, don't lose it, because it's probably the only thing that you can ever really find any satisfaction from.
In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.
I don't encourage people to choose any sort of sexuality.
It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record.
I'm kind of shy, and I think that I take that out by performing in front of a lot of people. That's how I get out my shyness.
I don't have anything against Simon Cowell and 'The X Factor.'
