My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
From Marilyn Manson
Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it.
Rumors, stories... I'm used to them. I got my ribs removed, I was on 'The Wonder Years'... You know there's a different story every day.
Marriage changes everything.
If one more 'journalist' makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans' help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.
I dare you all to write one more thing that you won't say to my face.
Ultimately, because I'm an artist, I can't ever consider myself a nihilist, so I suppose I'm optimistic.
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.
I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.
