"I think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake"
"I am going to be pretty kick ass 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."
"Shopping. I love to shop! Shoes and clothes are my biggest thing."
"I have a baby yellow BMW stick shift. When I drive, I literally have a script propped up on the steering wheel while trying to do a U-turn and put on lipstick. I've been known to run into parked cars. But I always leave a note saying I'm sorry -- I just don't leave any information."
"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 think I would have been a fabulous member of Dorothy Parker's clique, or one of Picasso's women. I would love to have been on the Titanic. I would love to be Howard Roark in The Fountainhead. I would like to be a Frank Lloyd Wright house. I think I would've kicked ass as Cleopatra. I would love to be a CIA operative...why do they get those morons from Georgetown? I'd be a La Femme Nikita sort of thing. And I don't think being the ruler of Hades would be all that bad."
"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 counseling 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 figured you'd talk about my breasts anyway so I might as well wear a nice shirt."
"I like Garbage a bit. I have to say I think Hole is really awful, and I really don't understand how anyone could think otherwise. [Courtney Love] must terrify the reviewers, because they're all afraid to give her a bad review, and there's no way people can think that album [Celebrity Skin] is good. No way."
"(Answering a question about 'Doom Generation') I'm not the slut I'm sometimes made out to be by the evil press. Though I'm sure I have an ex-boyfriend who would disagree. I've been called Cruella...."
"I'd hate to see what my breasts' numbers are -- 34C if you're curious. That's the most requested fake breast size."
"I'm sure every girl would want to go out having a boy servicing her, yes? In that down-south sort of way? But he'd better be fast. 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."
(On what the 11th Commandment should be)"Thou shalt always worship Rose."
"I've always had long, dark hair and sort of got tired of it" (on her new red hair)"
"I'm more suited to that gypsyish lifestyle"
"I possibly suffer from over-empathy,", "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 saw someone sitting at the bus stop"
"I loathe the telephone, and with e-mail you have the opportunity to consider your response or not to respond at all."
"A wild child, I'm definitely not. I'm like a grandma in a young person's body. I always have been. When I was nine, I was worried about incontinence. I used to read medical journals and was convinced I had every single disease that struck old people. I think that's why I feel younger as I've got older; I'm afraid to let go of my age-related illnesses."
