About Me


"Anything that can make people... fuck up their lives... or change their day, altering daily life - that's something I like....The more enemies I have the more I want to live. My enemies are really my allies in a sense, they give me the reason to continue - to piss them off."-Nick Zedd
"Nevertheless, it's probably good to play an instrument out of hatred of what other people do with it rather than play it conventionally. I hate the symbolism of guitars, the guitar hero, so I tried to do everything differently."-Blixa Bargeld
"My cuckold's horns made me lord of the forest."-Evelyn Waugh, 'Brideshead Revisited'
"In my case...self-absorption is justified."-Clifton Webb, in Preminger's 'Laura'
"Most people have a certain understanding of what a horror film is, namely that is emotionally juvenile, ignorant, supremely non-intellectual and dumb...But I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face...Emotions, imagery, intellect, your own sense of self."-David Cronenberg
"If you are an extreme artist, you are going to be an extreme personality. And the only reason you are turning to art is because you are too chicken-shit to turn to the machine gun."-Lydia Lunch
"there was a bitter taste on thy lips. was it the taste of blood...? but perchance it is the taste of love...they say that love hath a bitter taste...but what of that? what of that?"-Wilde, 'salome'
"this is the devil. he comes on at the end, to drag Mister Punch away to hell. i remember some busybodies, in the last queen's day, telling me that he ought to succeed. but he never does. there's always a devil in the story of Mister Punch, although sometimes he's hard to find."-Mister Punch
"The immediate presence of normals is likely to reinforce this split between self-demands and self, but in fact self-hate and self-derogation can also occur when only he and a mirror are about."-Erving Goffman, 'Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity'
"no one is crueler than an idealist."-Naguib Mahfouz
"Is there a lipstick that doesn't come off when you suck cocks?"-Jack Smith, Flaming Creatures
"max cady, you're rock bottom. i wouldn't expect you to understand this, but its a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower."-diane taylor, 'Cape Fear'
"Pray for me?! I reckoned if she knowed me she'd take a job that was more nearer her size..."-mark twain
