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.

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.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.

Young kids are taking Viagra, ecstasy. They even want instant sex.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

The Professional Children's School, it's for professional kids, so if you wanted to ditch, you could just write, Audition on a note and leave. I didn't really like school all that much.

I mean, obviously, a lot of people know me around the world. Kids know me.

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.

In Georgia it's a little different because of the East Cobb program. It's such a strong program that we see a lot of kids that come through here on a lot of different teams from across the country that come here to play in tournaments.
