Alice Cooper (1948) American rock singer, songwriter and musician
Kingsnake podcast interview http://club.kingsnake.com/index.php?/archives/66-Podcast-Interview-with-Alice-Cooper.html (26 May 2006). <br class="br">Context: 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.
“When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God.”
Alice Cooper (1948) American rock singer, songwriter and musician
Interview with Donald L. Hughes (22 April 2006).
Context: When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God. He's not just God, He's the all-powerful God and He has total control over everyone's life. The Devil, on the other hand, is a real character that's trying his hardest to tear your life apart. If you believe that this is just mythology, you're a prime target because you know that's exactly what Satan wants: To be a myth. But he's not a myth, of this I'm totally convinced. More than anything in the world, I'm convinced of that.

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.
