"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."

"I'm not against God. I'm against the Misuse of God."

"You can easily find more spirituality in art than in religion."

"There is Good and Evil within all of us. I enjoy searching to bring that out through music. I like it that there are questions brought out by the music. People must look inside themselves for the answers. People are so scared of acknowledging that there is an Evil side to man's soul just as there is a Good side."

"They're designed to make people Think. But the point with the Bible or a flag is to say, 'It's only as valid as you make it in your heart.' A piece of paper or a piece of cloth doesn't mean anything. It's what you believe and I want people to think about what they believe. I want them to consider if everything they've been taught, if that's what they want to believe or if that's what they've been told that they have to believe."

"A long time ago, there was a man as misunderstood as we are and they nailed him to a fucking cross!"

"I'm everything they're afraid of. Everything they hate. Everything they try and hide, and a lot more besides, I speak my mind and show people what's out there in reality. They're using me as a boogyman, but I'm reflecting it all back like a mirror."

"I don't really have a place in my heart for stupid or weak people. There's to many people in the world, and they need to make way for the people who can actually contribute something to society."

"I think my ideal utopia would be to surround myself with people who are intelligent and responsible for themselves and not what television might want to impress on them. That would be my criteria for intelligence."

"The world doesn't revolve around the sun, it revolves around a giant cock. That is what the world is about. It's about sex. 
Anybody who doesn't want to realize this is fooling themselves. People are bored because they've done everything they can do. So now the fear of death is the only thing that gets them excited. That's why some people have made me into some type of sex symbol. I'm death on wheels the way I look."

"I've found fantasy television shows to be a greater escape. The imagination is something that should be appreciated. That's why I think children are innately magic, because they realize the power of their minds and haven't been de-purified by television."

"I believe your remembrance is your immortality. What you leave in this world is that part of you that lives on forever."

"Escapism was what it was about for me. I didn't really like and wasn't the person that I wanted to be in the world, so I was the person I wanted to be in my own head."

"I think every man and woman is a star. It's just a matter of realizing and becoming it. It's all a matter of willpower. The world is just how you see it. If you want to have other people tell you how to see it, then you can. But if you want to look at it differently, then it's limitless what you can do. That's why I don't feel the need to be one person. I can be as many people as I like."

"Coincidence happens a lot, as does deja vu. I suffer from the psychological problem known as "Delusional Self" when you believe that every coincidence in your life is related. I don't consider it to be a disorder. I consider it a higher form of awareness."

"I felt desirable to bring about an apocalypse on a mental level, to kill of all the old ways and finally to believe in yourself. If there is a God then he is a part of you."

"A lot of that is about resenting vulnerability and about wanting to become more powerful but realizing that when you do become more powerful that it is empty."

"I think anyone who has any sense of open-mindedness can relate to a lot of what I say, because it boils down to isolation and the feeling of not being able to fit in. Some people don't ever deserve to understand, but those people are necessary. Because what Christianity started out as wasn't anything more than what we saw at the show today. It was one person getting up and saying what he felt, and a lot of people going, 'Yeah, I feel that too.' Jesus was the first rock star, the first sex symbol and the first icon."

"People love to scapegoat and shove the responsibility off on somebody else. Parents are always blaming heavy metal and horror movies for teen suicide, but it's the deprivation of things that the kids love that drives them to these desperate means, I think. It's not in the music, it always starts in the family. And anyway, I've always said if more people killed themselves over heavy metal that's fine, too. It's just less stupid people in the world."

"It's the questions that matter, not the answers. It's the experiences you gain, the people you piss off, the people you entertain, the arguments you start. The energy of the contradictions, the debate, not any conclusions you might draw. The truth is only relative to how many people believe it. If I want to discover the truth, I have to become more and more famous. I have to be the biggest star. Because the more people believe in what I have to say, the truer it is."

"No, all there is, is making people think for themselves. That's it. No answers. You make your choice. Fascism is precisely what I'm out to destroy but if people see our show and see fascism, it's in them already, it's a self discovery. And that's what we're here for, to make people think, enable self-discovery. I ain't here to condemn or condone. I'm here to go against the grain. I've transformed my world so that I am my own work of fiction, with no boundaries to what I can do, no limits. I'm saying anyone can do that. Anyone."

"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 suppose to like, what they're suppose to buy, and what they're suppose to laugh at. You have Beavis and Butthead telling you what music you're allowed to like and not like, and you've got sitcoms that have canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is. People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves because America has raised them like that."

"The opposite of love is apathy, and hate is really the same as love. If you're so consumed by hatred for someone, you might as well be loving them, because you're thinking about them for the same amount of time."

"I think that there is a collective disbelief in God nowadays, and it just needs to be massaged. I'm not against God. I'm against the Misuse of God, and the victimization of people through Guilt and these ideas of Sin. Cause Christianity is really responsible for Consumerism. The idea of Blind Faith has really ruined America in some ways, because there's this underlying theme of fascism that nobody's willing to accept. We're being controlled by our own stupidity and weaknesses. You turn on the TV, and if you don't buy this type of shampoo, you're not going to get laid, or if you don't buy this car, your friends aren't gonna accept you, and all of your friends are making fun of you behind your back because you have acne. It just eats away at your Soul. It makes you so dependent that you're scared to make your own decisions."

"Reality is just what's popular. At one point, the world was flat, and we were all convinced of that, because that was what was popular. Right now, in America, everyone is convinced that this is One Nation Under God; its on the Dollar Bill. And there's been so many people that tried to crack that open. An Antichrist is someone who is just fighting for man. Even in the Bible, the word Antichrist never really defined some villain who was going to come at the end of the world and destroy everyone. The word was used to describe someone who was opposed to Jesus in his day; it was a collective Disbelief in God."
