I've never told you the story of Alice in Wonderland, have I?
I've never told you the story of Alice in Wonderland, have I?
From the moment I leave my house or my hotel room, the public owns me. The public made Alice Cooper and I can't imagine ever turning my back on my fans.
Towards the end it got really rough. I take my hat of to Alice, he's still doing it. This is probably more work than going on the road for 2-3 months. I wish I was 25 again!
Once, in London, the BBC asked me what was my favorite English book. I said Alice in Wonderland.

I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters.
I read all the time. I was reading a book I admire very much by Alice McDermot called Charming Billy.
I like a lot of Margaret Atwood, I like much of Alice Munro. Again, if you were to ask me about male writers, there's often a novel I admire, but not all of their works.
