JONATHAN DAVIS

When you live on the road, going home is a place to escape and just be with your family to unwind.

Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized.

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.

I feel like Obama's an Illuminati puppet.

I think if two people love each other, they should be able to get married. That's pretty much simple.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

I think there was a lot competition in the rock scene.

A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.

It started when I woke up, all I wanted to do is jump out of the window. I didn't want to eat anymore, because I was afraid that I might poison myself somehow.

I want to hold a CD I didn't burn. I hate burnt CDs.

Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

Be yourself, let you come through.

I like reading Ball Tongue lyrics and all that stuff. And they published a book, and I wouldn't give my lyrics, and it's all wrong in the book, and I giggle. It's funny.

You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same.

I used to have 30 different species of tarantulas, as well as two Australian scorpions that are considered the deadliest in the world. If stung by one, a person would die in 30 minutes. But when I had kids I had to get rid of them, of course. Those were intense!

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

I write every night.

If you feel inside you are a woman, be a woman - no one can take that away from you, man. No one can make that feeling go away. If that's what you need to do to be complete, then no one has the right to tell you you can't do that.

When I listen to music, I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction.

Real friends stab you in the front.

I got problems. I freak out, go to a shrink, go through all kinds of therapy and stuff, but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.

I don't know the true meaning of happiness.

It seems like a lot of music today is so churned out and simple.

Issues deals with the issues I had, the fears I had and it isn't a 'nice' album but fears and depressions are not particularly nice.
