“People that haven't seen us yet are shocked because they think that Alice Cooper must be a female folksinger.”

Poppin (1969)
Context: People that haven't seen us yet are shocked because they think that Alice Cooper must be a female folksinger. They don't expect the whole thing. And the whole thing is a direct product of television and movies and America, 'cause that's where America's based. That's where their heart is from the sex and violence of TV and the movies, and that was our influence.
