Daisy Berkowitz

“Leaving the band was like a divorce. It was very difficult and emotional.”

“I was just trying to do the heaviest thing I could do with the simplest parts.”

“The name Daisy Berkowitz was a combination of Daisy Duke and David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer. It was a juxtaposition of good and evil.”

“Trent Reznor was very specific about what he wanted. He wanted to trim the fat, and a lot of my parts were considered fat.”

“The ideas were always there from the beginning; the combination of glamour and horror.”

“I co-wrote the music for 'Antichrist Superstar' but my name doesn't appear on it. It’s a sore spot.”

“I felt like I was being muscled out of the songwriting process. It's not that I wanted things to stay the same; it's just that I felt I was losing control of the band that I started.”

“We all lived together in a small apartment at one point, so it was almost like a family. It was me, Manson, Gidget, and Sara Lee Lucas.”

“I am proud of what I did. I'm proud of the work that I did with that band and that I helped create something that was big.”
