Quote

"I think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake"
"I am going to be pretty kick a$$ by the time I'm thirty, and I can't wait!!"
"You have to work to carve out your own little corner, and I'm certainly smacking my head against the wall trying to make a dent. I just hope I don't get brain-damaged before I get there."

"Hollywood is all about making an entrance. I don't want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself."

"I always thought I was more satanic than Manson."
( Discussing the sinister reputation of her ex-fianc? Marilyn Manson.)"I feel people have tried to stamp out what is special about me. Why should I downplay myself to make someone else more comfortable?"
"It's my job to spread deviance to the American youth."

"I'm a pussycat unless you do something to one of my friends. Then I'll think of unique ways to get back at you. I'm more creative than your average bear."

"When I lived in Europe, I was usually pretty exalted for the way I looked. I had minions who would run and get me candy...But when I moved to Oregon and entered my goth phase with spiky black hair, kids threw things at me."
I don't believe in rules. I would be happy to be climbing a pyramid when I'm 70. And I know I will be.
