  • Emilie Autumn Quote #1

    Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops.


  • Emilie Autumn Quote #2

    DeathWish: You spent some time working with Courtney Love and Billy Corgan on a creative level, how did this experience help your growth as an artist?

    EA: It didn't -- it stunted it entirely. I gave up over a year of my life and career helping Billy with his flop of an album and designing and building all of the costumes for his music video. With Courtney, we were friends, but I spent years working to record and promote her flop of an album only to find that my value increased every time I peed in an orange juice bottle so that she could fake her way through a drug test. Not exactly a haven for artistic growth.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #6

    I cut myself because you wouldn't let me cry.
    I cried because you wouldn't let me speak.
    I spoke because you wouldn't let me shine.
    I shone because I thought you loved me...

    I do not have OCD OCD OCD.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #8

    I feel as though, if I were to extend my hand just a little toward the pool where the ideas ferment, I could grab at the idea and pull it out of the pool and onto the floor where ideas must stand before the jury of the brain. There, it must present itself, still from the pool, and a bit shivery because new ideas are not given a towel to dry off with, towels being reserved for proven theories; new ideas are simply pulled and stood up, and asked to explain themselves - not a very pleasant thing really, which is why so many people go into the room where the pool is. The exercise is exhausting not to mention a bit difficult to watch, if you are at all a sympathetic creature. What was my idea, anyways?

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #14

    It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind?

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #15

    My reasons to live
    Were my reasons to die
    But at least they were mine
    Now I've freedom unbound
    Cut the laces of life

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #16

    Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #17

    Oh, and I certainly don't suffer from schizophrenia. I quite enjoy it. And so do I.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #18

    Perfume was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors...
    Spices and bold flavorings were created to mask the taste of putrid and rotting meat...
    What then was music created for?
    Was it to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves?
    I think I know.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #19

    Some are born mad, some achieve madness, and some have madness thrust upon 'em.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #20

    Studies show:
    Intelligent girls are more depressed
    Because they know
    What the world is really like
    Don't think for a beat it makes it better
    When you sit her down and tell her
    Everything gonna be all right
    She knows in society she either is
    A devil or an angel with no in between
    She speaks in the third person
    So she can forget that she's me

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #21

    Thank you.

    It used to be knee length, but then I discovered that when I get angry I like to cut things.

    I'm not allowed to have scissors any more.

    It's still pretty lengthy, but I've been threatening to shave half of it for the past week and nobody seems to believe me...

    I do it all myself though because I scream when I'm touched and that scares people.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #22

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #23

    We will paste upon the curled pages words
    Like charming and romantic and sentimental
    Forgetting that charming is witchcraft
    Romantic is love
    And sentiment is what makes us human

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #24

    What's the big fucking deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #25

    Why can I never go back to bed? Who's is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead?

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #26

    Why should I wake when I'm half past dead?

    Women who focus on style over substance usually find themselves in a big fucking hole, with other men who want to fuck the hole. Oh so smooth, and none sophistacted. Because, you know, how sophisticated can hole-fucking really be

  • Emilie Autumn Quote #28

    You know the games I play
    And the words I say
    When I want my own way
    You know the lies I tell
    When you've gone through hell
    And I say I can't stay
    You know how hard it can be
    To keep believing in me
    When everything and everyone
    Becomes my enemy and when
    There's nothing more you can do
    I'm gonna blame it on you
    It's not the way I want to be
    I only hope that in the end you will see
    It's the Opheliac in me
