Selected quotations

I' m nihilistic, antagonistic, violent one, horrible - goal not obliterated, yet.

I would Be humiliated yew I found out that anything I did actually became has commercial success.

There' Re enough happy assholes out there, why should I Be another one in the line…

It seems to me, that for over two thousand years now; mad-men, maniacs, and would Be messiahs cut been pilfering, cut been pillaging, cuts been plundering, and cuts been raping the entire planet; and the way I see it, Natural Mother is getting pretty pissed off.

No pornography exploits women. It exploits men. It' S the men that are made to look stupid, silly and ridiculous, chasing after the golden delicious elixir. Women look beautiful, C what they wanna to C and get paid for it. -->
