It was not my intention whatsoever for the Japanese government to try to get me out of trouble. And I really appreciate the Japanese government for all they have done for me.
My friends tell me I'm the most boring celebrity they know! A typical night for me is at home in California or watching movies in my pyjamas.
I've got no idea when I am going to retire. Whenever they pick me up and take me to the funeral home, I guess.
The darker, more complex and emotional the part is, the easier it is for me. But I don't take any of that stuff home with me at the end of the day.
Traveling to swimming meets took me beyond my small-town existence, gave me a hint of the exciting world outside of my own home.
Sense of humor. A girl who doesn't take themselves too seriously. And someone who is spontaneous. They're the three things for me that really attract me to a girl.
The difference between me as Brian Warner or Marilyn Manson is just words. Same personality, sensibility, sense of humor, behavior. He is me.
As a kid, I sensed history going on all around me, but the basic thrust of it didn't move me.
It made me think about a whole area of human activity that was not really a concern to me before that, because I was involved in reading Chinese history, or languages, or whatever.
I think people change, but the media, they never allowed me to change. They never allowed me to be a better person.
Have you ever noticed how nice people are at the car wash?! Maybe it's just me, but it makes me happy. Weird, I know!
It just seemed too weird to me. I don't know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents' apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.
I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.
My dad never told me that when you audition, you might not get the role. He wanted to wait until my first disappointment to tell me.
My dad actually taught me how to do the catwalk because he used to do modeling. He taught me how to do that little swivel at the end.
There are a few images in 'Exorcist 3' that scared me - people crawling on ceilings, etc. - but nothing beats the original. Even the book scared me to death.
Education never really interested me, to be fair. I mean, education does interest me, but academic school study is a different thing. I can't quite grasp that.
Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.
I know that people will remember me as Miss Universe because it was my first great achievement, but I still have my whole career ahead of me.
My girls have been a great support to me. I come to them when I need to make a decision; they love to watch me work.
Personally, I find visualisations great for helping me understand the world and for sifting the huge amounts of information that deluge me every day.
