On stage, I'm this figure, this actor, who does things that people aren't used to seeing and I relish in that reaction. In real life, though, I play golf, I shop and I walk around with no makeup on and my hair in a ponytail. I may not be the typical middle-aged Joe, but I'm closer to normal than you think.

God gives you a life and says, 'Okay, what are you going to do with it?'
Alice Cooper
Image
Oh, I love to lie. That's one of my favorite things in the world, coming up to somebody, especially press people, and telling them some enormous lie that couldn't possibly be true.
Alice Cooper

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

My ultimate goal will be my being told in a Penthouse letter that I can frame.

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

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

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.

The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.

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, you know, sitting on the tables. And we thought that was a great idea.

If you get earaches, I'd turn my volume down a notch or two for you. Cause I will do anything for you.

We play it differently now. If we did the album now it would be different.
