Alice Cooper Quotations | Page 2

It's so funny that people think I actually ran for President. I am maybe the most un-political person you're ever going to meet. When I put "Elected" out, it was definitely a satire ... "Alice Cooper for President" ... when everybody realized I was running against Nixon, you known, even on a joke level, I think I got a lot of write-in votes.

How old are you? Sixteen? S-seventeen? [asks security guard] Is seventeen legal?

There's a little Spinal Tap in all of us.

When I moved to L. A. with this little wimpy garage band, the first people we met were the Doors. Then we met Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin. All of the people who died of excess were our big brothers and sisters. So I said to myself: How do you become a legend and enjoy it? The answer is to create a character as legendary as those guys and leave that character on the stage.

Dead Babies can take care of themselves, dead Babies can´t take things off the shelf...

Rock should never be in bed with politics.

If you blink your eyes or go get a Coke, you've missed 10 things.

When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I'd run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick. If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.

Slade was the coolest band in England. They were the kind of guys that would push your car out of a ditch.

You know it's always funny - the more legend awards you get, the closer you get to the grave, I guess, i am going full strength right now so it's great to get these while you're alive, I'd hate to get them after you're dead.

It used to be said: As GM goes, so goes America. Now it's: As Starbucks goes, so goes America.

If you were to say to me that you needed a romantic and sentimental song in four hours, I would have that song written in four hours.

The best things in life don't make sense

I always tell people, 'Everything you’ve heard about Alice Cooper , you can believe maybe 40 percent of it. Everything you’ve ever heard about Keith Moon is true - and you’ve only heard 10 percent of it.'

God gives you a life and says, Okay, what are you going to do with it?

Golf is the crack of sports. If you hit five good shots, you know you can hit six good shots. The next time you hit six good shots, you know you can hit seven.

Nobody and nothing beats The Simpsons. Even after all this time, it's still the best satire since Monty Python.

Take a look at my face, I am the future.

It just seemed that we always ended up at the Rainbow, to the point where they finally just said, 'Why don't you guys go up into this loft, where we'll kind of protect people from coming around and sitting on the tables.' And we thought that was a great idea.

She gets a hundred for her body and a nickel for her soul.

You ain't no Hepburn and I ain't no Fonda, but if you were drowning in Golden Ponda, mouth to mouth I'd resuscitate you.

She didn't know that there was more of me, she'd have to learn to love all four of me.

Some maniac butcher is trying to hack away your balls.

Women on the streets want money when we meet. I take them for a little ride, chop, chop, chop.

He lies right at you, you know you hate this game. He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain.

Reverend Smith, he recognized me and punched me in the nose.

To me, if you are in the same building with Peter Sellers or John Cleese, or any of those guys and holding your own making other people laugh, that's a compliment.

Everybody was at the top of their game at that point, in the early '70s.

The boy's got problems, the boy's got stress, the boy's got a .38 hidden in his desk.

Satan sent her from the bowels of hell, I should have recognized old Jezebel.

I ain't got a job cause I ain't got a car, so I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car.

Every rock'n'roll band I know, guys with long hair and tattoos, plays golf now.

It doesn't matter how many drugs I take, I'm not fulfilled. This isn't satisfying. There's a spiritual hunger going on. Everybody feels it. If you don't feel it now, you will. Trust me. You will... Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's the real rebellion.

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins) I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (Deep in) I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison

I think he was trying to produce more of a... sort of a cheaper image.

I'm 18 and I like it!

That was very close to getting killed. Usually at pop festivals we have people jumping on stage.

They say that golf isn't a contact sport. Not the way that we play it

I was nervous. I mean, I'd met the Beatles, and Elvis, and everybody, but this was Salvador Dalí . This was like my history.

I mean, I could go ahead and cut my head off in the guillotine, and it looks great, ... Well, now you turn on CNN and guys are really getting their heads cut off. ... As insane as our fantasy world gets, it's nowhere near as scary as reality.

Besides, when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush.

He thinks about his teacher in his literary class, he's staring at her legs.

And if I am elected, I promise the formation of a new party, a third party, a wild party.

Johnny Depp already seen how alcohol and drugs can get in the way of a career. And you have to remember one thing: Johnny was a guitar player and a rock-and-roller way before he was an actor. When he came to Los Angeles, he came with his band.

If somebody had told me that you have a choice of being a rock star or playing left field for the Tigers, there would not have been a choice at all. I would have said, 'Where's my locker?'

She's cool in bed, as she ought to be, cuz Ethyl's dead.

School's-out-for-summer!!

It's a compliment to me to hear you screaming.

Nurse Rozetta, I won't let her catch me peering down her sweeter.

I'm not crazy about country-western music. But the lyrics are good. "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" is pretty clever.

Is everybody that depressed? It's a depressing feeling to me. You know: "I lost my baby." I don't care if you lost your baby, I care if you're feeling OK. Don't tell me your problem - tell me what good's been happening to you.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Love's a loaded gun and it shoots to kill.

Never be late. When you're late, what you're saying is that your time is more important than the other person's time. That's pretty egotistical.

I don't think you can shock an audience anymore. Me cutting my head off is a great illusion, but when you turn on CNN and there's a guy really getting his head cut off, it does dilute what I did.

School's out forever, school's been blown to pieces.

He (Marilyn Manson) has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original.

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll is easy. True christianity…that's rebellion.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid.

The only real person you need to know is you.

Welcome to my nightmare, I think your going to like it.

Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.

I was one thing at one time, and I'm something new. I'm a new creature now. Don't judge Alice by what he used to be. Praise God for what I am now.

Just because I cut the heads off dolls doesn't mean I hate babies, I just hate dolls.

Drinking bear is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion.

If you could use your brain like you use your ass...

Welcome to my nightmare. I think you're going to like it. There'll be some more when you come down.

We don't mind that, that's making them accept more, making fun that we accept that. The thing is this is the way we are. We think it's a gas.

There is so much great rock from the '60s, '70s, a little thinner in the '80s. I can't believe that there are only 40 songs that get played. There is such a variety of music from that era. There are just so many bands that never get played.

This whole album takes you in a lot of different directions, yet it still really sounds like an Alice album. There are no fillers. Pick any song you think might be a single and I'm happy with that song representing the album. That to me is quality.

We identified with Frank. We were of course influenced - when everybody hears Zappa, they're influenced by him, just like The Beatles.

And you'd be right to do that. But the funny thing is I haven't watered down Alice. Alice the character on stage is just as dastardly as ever. If you sit in the first 20 rows of my show, you're covered in fake blood. The attitude behind it is totally for fun. The audience in the '70s was so easy to shock. Now I can't be as shocking as CNN.

I've already played with Tiger! He mentioned me in a golf magazine as one of the best celebrity golfers.

This community cannot afford to go backwards we need to be moving ahead and moving together regardless of the color of skin one has,

It (playing fairs) is a little more challenging and at the same time a little easier,

The new songs fit right in. They are so close to that style. That is what you want. I wanted them to sound like that era.

That's the fun audience, ... Everybody is there to have fun.

The age of the audience has dropped 10-15 years, maybe more. All of the audiences through Spain, Italy through Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are like 15-16 through 25. It's like 1972 again.

I've got a crew that has been with me for quite a while, ... They know how to break down the disappearing coffin trick. They know how to break down the guillotine.

They coincide with each other but they don't at the same time. So what it is, is when people come to see us the first time, they see this.

I'm on in 80 cities. Madison was the first place we went No. 1 in the ratings.

I promise every time I walk down this street I will polish that little star,

I play every single morning. Alice Cooper has never played golf. I play golf. If you put golf clubs on stage, he would think they were weapons.

City people live the city. We live in L.A., New York, we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.

He started to, but we said we weren't happy with the feelings we got off the cut... the album now is more us than the other production that Frank did.

He's Lou Rawls, one of the legends in the business.
