I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.

We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.

I'm open to getting more equipment, but I really won't have time to look into that until after the tour.

Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.

We're approaching things quite differently this time, but it will still sound like Marilyn Manson.

I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.

But the exposure we got by doing the stint with Nine Inch Nails brought us a lot of attention.

Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own.

Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier.

I just saw metal as another tool for me to use.

We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished.

Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.

It's like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they're glorifying it as their top story.

I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.

I'm happy with the way everyone presents themselves onstage.

Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.

It's great, because different groups of kids can laugh at each other and still enjoy the show.

There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music.

It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

There will be some tracks on the next album which that will consist of mostly noise and feedback, whereas others may just have guitar parts and samples.

We're playing the same songs, the same way, that we have for years.

What you hear about the band is always going to be more disturbing than any particular song.

If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

It was a good chance for us to play for people who would never have heard us otherwise.

I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida.

Don't watch the clock, do what it does. Keep Going.

That's what university life is all about. Challenging, questioning, enjoying good people and good friends, and pushing yourself to the limit.

And if they haven't got poetry in them, there's nothing you can do that will produce it.

People don't stop eating, and they don't stop drinking coffee.

Even when I think I'm wrong I'm right. I am all-knowing.

Thanks to farm subsidies, the fine collaboration between agribusiness and Congress, soy, corn and cattle became king. And chicken soon joined them on the throne. It was during this period that the cycle of dietary and planetary destruction began, the thing we're only realizing just now.

As a newspaper reporter, I covered and was around a fair number of crime scenes involving juvenile delinquents, and few things bothered me more than listening to their parents. Crying, ranting, proclaiming how great their children were despite being kicked out of school or previous run-ins with the law.

The Army's always had a special place in my heart.

Rarely do we stop and consider whether the most prestigious of institutions is always in our best interest.

I don't always understand my worth.

Those who cannot renounce attachment to the results of their work are far from the path.

What brings you closer to God is being in service to others. I think any religion or spiritual way of life will indicate that service to others will lead to a connection with a higher power.

Grant me thirty years of equal division of inheritances and a free press and I will provide you with a republic.

Memory is like plaster peel it back and you just might find a completely different picture.

I am trying to think of the last time that I just said, 'What the hell!' and did something crazy.

You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls, notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.

The transfiguration of Jesus is one of the typical facts of the resurrection of the body; not only of the glorious change, but of the renewed life of the body and of the general judgment day.

In Kenya, crime and terrorism are deeply linked, not least by the failure of successive Kenyan governments to control either.

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life.

I think I was lucky to come of age in a place and time - the American South in the 1960s and '70s - when the machine hadn't completely taken over life. The natural world was still the world, and machines - TV, telephone, cars - were still more or less ancillary, and computers were unheard of in everyday life.

With any long-term relationship, you have good days and bad days.

You know what's just as powerful as a good cup of coffee in the morning? Starting your day with some good, loving thoughts. It can change how your whole day unfolds.

We all want something else other than what we have and don't realize what you got works. It works. It does work. You gotta work. Marriage is work. Marriage is a career. It's not an adventure.
