Personal quotes:
"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-fiancé 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.”
"I want to live in Paris. I want to learn to ice-skate and to box. I want to get a degree in Egyptology. I would like to not have to say "Like, oh my God!" in any movies. I would like to have a day go by without people screaming various obscenities about body parts. I'd like to still have Bug and Fester, my Boston terriers. I think I'd like to be with my boyfriend, except (laughs) I'm pretty commitment-shy. I'd like to please my father, who used to be in the Children of God, and do at least one more "porno" film - which is what he called The Doom Generation. I'd like to start some sort of counselling program for girls - when I was that age I was always told that I was gonna burn in hell. I would like to lose the guilt I have for compulsive spending. I would like to stop being addicted to diet hot chocolate."
"I'm a fan of pink, I'm a fan of high-heeled shoes and I'm a fan of strange-looking dogs, so this hits all the notes for me." (at the Legally Blonde 2 premiere)
“I don't really care how people view me particularly. It's not really any of my business because everyone is going to have their own opinion and if I started thinking about what everyone else thought of me, I'd go crazy.”
"I think women look better with a little more weight on them. Being super thin makes you look haggard."
"Hollywood is all about making an entrance. I don't want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself."
"People thought (I was wild) because of who I was with (Manson). In reality I've been home baking cupcakes."
"I've always admitted it: I'm a man with really nice breasts - I'm so guilty of doing every single male thing. Not calling, not showing up, leaving at four in the morning."
"I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that."
"If one person starts crying, I'll cry. If one person has no money, I'll give them mine. If I had a bicycle growing up, I always felt incredibly guilty when I see someone sitting at the bus stop."
"I know I am kind and I have fun and if I sat there and worried about what everybody else thought of me my brain would be very crowded."
