Nervous Quote by Marilyn Manson
“Ive always been paranoid about the police, because even when Im not doing anything illegal, Im thinking about doing something illegal. So, whenever Im around a cop, I get uncomfortable and nervous, worried that Ill say the wrong thing or look so guilty theyll arrest me anyway. Being completely out of my mind on drugs doesnt help the situation any.”
