We Are Our Own Wicked Gods With Little 'g's' And Big Dicks, Sadistic And Constantly Inflicting A Slow Demise.

Films And Things Like That Are Really My First Love And, So When We Get To Make Videos It's Just As Important As The Song. To Me It's Not A Commercial, For Me It's A Whole Work Of Art On It's Own So, We Plan On Working On A Movie And Things Like That In The Future So.

I Often Obsess So Much About Things That I Can't Get Done, That I Ruin Other Things.

I Say No To Drugs, But They Don't Listen.

Say No To Drugs

I Believe In Dreams. I Believe That Every Night On The Planet Everything That Is, Was And Can Be Is Dreamt. I Believe That What Happens In Dreams Is No Different No Less Important Than What Happens In The Waking World. I Believe That Dreams Are The Closest Equvalent Present-day Mankind Has To Trime Travel.

I'd Seen The Led Zeppelin Reunion And I've Never Been Such A Huge Led Zeppelin Fan As Much As The Doors Or Beatles. I Went And Saw The Reunion And Watching Them Play "stairway To Heaven," It Was Very Breathtaking For One Reason Mostly. I Can Imagine These Two Guys Looking At Each Other, Robert Plant And Jimmy Page. Not To Compare Us To Led Zeppelin, But I Did Miss The Fact That I Could Look Over At The Guy, Twiggy Ramirez, That Wrote "the Beautiful People" And "dope Show." Emotionally, It's Taken A Long Time To Repair That.

Sometimes Hate Is Not Enough To Turn This All To Ashes, Together As One And Against All Others, Break All Of Their Wings To Make Sure It Crashes.

If Anybody Wants To Be A Rock Star They've Gotta Try Hard Enough. They're Not Gonna Get It Handed To Them

Image And Music Always Works Together For Me. I Think They're Equally Important And I've Always Done Things In A Way That People Remember Them By, But I Don't Set Out To Just Shock People...because That's Very Easy, A Lot Of People Could Do That, I Just Like To Do Things The Way That Makes Me Happy Really. And Sometimes That's Too Much For Certain People, But, You Know, I Try To Push The Envelope To Make The Boundaries Wider As Far As What You Can And Can't Do In Music.

Working Together

There's Just No Great Rock Albums Anymore. There's A Lot Of Rock Music Out There, But It's Very Bland And Disposable.

If You Want To Find Out Who Your Real Friends Are, Sink The Ship. The First Ones To Jump Aren't Your Friends.

Who Your Friends Are

I'm Just Here For The Narcotics.

My First Memories Of Religion Were Being Taken To Episcopal Church. My Father Was Catholic, But My Mother, I Believe, Was Episcopal. So I Sort Of Veered Off Into The Watered-down Version Of Catholicism.

I Did Have A Huggy Beardoll. One Of His Legs Fell Off. That Empty Leg Became A Place Where, When We Were Doing A Lot Of Drugs On Tour At One Point, We Would Store The Drugs In His Empty Leg. That's Where The Term 'dancing With The One-legged Man' On Smells Like Children Came From, Because Whenever Anyone Was Doing Drugs We Called It The 'dance Of The One-legged Man.' That Became A Ritualistic Thing That Was Funny For Awhile.

I'm Not A Believer Of The "perfect World" Tv Tries To Feed Us.

I Am Not As Self-abusive In The Manner Of Walking Off Stage Bleeding. But As Far As Attitude, I Feel That Twiggy And I Have Finally Gotten Back To The Point Of Being Brothers And Clicked Back Into The Place Where We Really Enjoy Feeding Off Each Other Onstage Like We Did When We Started Out.

What Nearly Everybody In My Life Had Misunderstood About Satanism Was That It Is Not About Ritual Sacrifices, Digging Up Graves And Worshipping The Devil. The Devil Doesn't Exist. Satanism Is About Worshipping Yourself, Because You Are Responsible For Your Own Good And Evil.

I Heard This Album As Finished, I Heard It In Dreams . . . It Was Like The Revelations Of John The Baptist Or Something.

And That's The Type Of Thing I'm Trying To Speak Out Against The Most, Religion Controlling What We See And What We Do In Our Personal Lives, Even If You're Not A Part Of That Religion. Antichrist Superstar[the Album] Is A Challenge Really, To Traditional Morality And It's...to Make People Question That And Make People Think About Different Perspectives.

I Fear Being Like Everyone I Hate, I Fear Failure, I Fear Losing Control. I Love Balancing Between Chaos And Control With Everything I Do. I Always Have A Fear Of Going One Way Or Another, Getting Lost In Something, Or Losing Everything To Get Lost In. And I Fear Being A Completely Acceptable Sheep In Society.

My Art Is Not Limited To The Songs I Create But Also To The Reaction It Creates. I Like To Sit Back And Look At The Whole Thing As If It's A Tornado That I'm Controlling. It's Creating Chaos. When You Create Chaos, Ideas Are Turned Upside Down, And Everybody Looks At Things In A Different Way.

My Goal Isn't To Make Money, It's To Try And Survive And Make A Point.

God Will Grovel Before Me, God Will Crawl At My Feet.

I Still Get Excited Performing Live. When You See The Immediate Reaction From A Crowd, Its Like Being A Theater Performer, Its Something You Can't Get From Being A Writer Or Being An Ad Man ... Its Almost Ritualistic.

It Isn’t Hard To Find A Person Whom I Could Fall In Love With, To Give Her Romance. But It’s Hard To Find Such A Person Who Would Understand Your View On Life, Accept Who You Really Are And Would Truly Care For You.

Falling In Love

The Idea Of Heaven Is Christianity's Way Of Creating A Hell On Earth.

Antichrist Superstar Is Also About Me Wanting To Grow Up And Be Something That People Would Adore...instead I Grew Up And Became Something That People Hated.

I Try And Take Everyone's Ideals, Common Morals, Flip Them Around, Make People Look At Them Differently, Question Them, So That You're Not Always Taking Things For Granted.

For Me, It's Never Been An Ego Situation Where I Have Been "i'm The Boss; Expletive You." It's Always Been A Situation Where Someone Comes To Me And Says "i Can't Tolerate Working With You Anymore" And I Would Admit Sometimes I Wouldn't Blame Them For That. But I Also Sometimes Think I'm Not That Difficult To Figure Out. I Don't Really Know What Has Driven People To Be So Angry And Bitter - People Like My Old Keyboard Player Pogo, Who I've Known For Such A Long Time. I Feel Bad For Him, But There Are Grievances With Everything.

When Someone Was Willing To Drown With Me, I Really Didn't Want To Drown Anymore.

You Look A Certain Way Because You Want People To Listen To You In A Certain Way.

I Am The Pedophiles Dream, A Messianic Peter Pan.

Find What You Are Afraid Of, Face It, And Then You Won't Be Afraid Of It Anymore.

Videos Have To Go Hand In Hand With Your Music, So That's Why, Ultimately, They Should Be Created By The Artist. And If They're Not, It Doesn't Really Add Up To Me.

There Are Definitely Dark Forces Out There That None Of Us Fully Understand. People Fear What They Don't Understand, And Lash Out Against It

A Pill To Make You Numb A Pill To Make You Dumb A Pill To Make You Anybody Else But All The Drugs In This World Won't Save Her From Herself.

I Don't Think That My Lyrics Are Over-laced With Profanity, Because I Myself Don't Speak Using A Lot Of Profanity In Normal Conversation. But I Think When You're Making Something Aggressive And You Need To Get A Point Across, If You're Angry, Sometimes Profanity Is Necessary. It's Better To Use A Curse Word Than To Hurt Somebody Else, I Find.

I Hate Normal Studios, Because You Have To Say "hi" To The Person At The Front Desk. And Then You Go Into The Studio, And There's A Second Engineer In There That You Don't Know, And Then You're Stuck In A Glass Box With Someone Talking To You Through A Walkie-talkie.

I'm Not A Role Model. I'm A Role Villain.

You Can't Force Someone To See The Truth, Just Like You Can't Force A Blind Man To See.

Sometimes I Like To Get Drunk And Buy Things On The Internet, And Then I Wake Up The Next Day And Find 'em On My Doorstep, And It's Like Christmas. I Get Excited.

The Point Is That Life For Me Is Not Going To Be The Way It Is For Everyone Else. I Have A Fog Machine And Movie Lights In My Bedroom.

I Think Every Man And Woman Is A Star. It's Just A Matter Of Realizing And Becoming It. It's All A Matter Of Willpower. The World Is Just How You See It. If You Want To Have Other People Tell You How To See It, Then You Can. But If You Want To Look At It Differently, Then It's Limitless What You Can Do. That's Why I Don't Feel The Need To Be One Person. I Can Be As Many People As I Like.

You Should Have To Pass An Iq Test Before You Breed. You Have To Take A Driving Test To Operate Vehicles And An Sat Test To Get Into College. So Why Don’t You Have To Take Some Sort Of Test Before You Give Birth To Children? When I Am President, That’s The First Rule I Will Institute.

Man's Greatest Fear Is Chaos.

You Have To Really Swallow Your Pride And Admit That You Want To Make A Comeback. And That Means That You Weren't At Your Best And I Feel Like I Stopped Being Who I Needed To Be. When I Started Making This Record "born Villain", I Didn't Want To Be What I Used To Be But I Certainly Didn't Want To Be What I Was At The Time. I Knew That I Was Supposed To Be Something Better Then What I Was. I Feel That I Am Close To Being What I'm Supposed To Be And Am Enjoying What I'm Doing Here.

I Was A Pizza-delivery Boy At The Pizza Oven In Canton. I Wanted To Get Fired So Bad, I Actually Wrecked The Delivery Car, But They Wouldn't Fire Me. I Was The Only Person They Had Working There.

When People Say 'i Want To Be Like You', I Tell Them If You Want To Be Like Me, Then Be Yourself.

Art Gives Me The Freedom I Don't Have When I Make Music.

People Drink To Numb The Pain And Suffering. I Think It's The Pain And Suffering That Drive You To Become An Artist. The Art Itself Should Be The Pain, Sort Of Exorcising Every Demon And Making You Feel Like You're A Person That Matters.

Anything Can Be Misinterpreted. People Can Look At Christ On A Cross And Think, This Is An Image Of Murder, This Is Violent, This Has Sexual Imagery In It. And It Just - I Think It's My Job As An Artist To Be Out There Pushing People's Buttons And Making Them Question Everything.

I Was Married To Someone Who Wanted Me To Change. Become More Adult, More Responsible. I Began Not To Like Myself, Not Like What I Do. I Lost My Identity. Everything Began Collapsing Around Me.

There's A Lot Of Talk In Some Of The Other Versions Of The Bible, The Hebrew Versions, And Things About The End Of The World Not Being A Punishment From God, But Being An Invitation From Mankind.

Outlook On Life

When I Was A Kid I Think The Thing I Remembered Most About The Exorcist Was Linda Blair Being Possessed By The Devil, And How Scary That Was. It Had A Lot Of Parallels For Me Because The Movie Was Challenging Different Ideas About Faith And It Was Looking At Religion In A Darker Way. Growing Up I Was Afraid Of Being Possessed By The Devil, As An Adult I'm Afraid Of Being Possessed By The World, By Ignorance, And Not Holding On To My Beliefs And What I Feel Strongly About.

There's No Reason To Change What You Are, But If You're Not Being You, Then You Need To Acknowledge That.

As Far As The Performance Goes, I Want To Create An Atmosphere, And Use 5.1 Sound And Imagery And Shape And Form To Transform The Stage From One Thing To Another, As If You're Watching A Movie.

When I Was A Kid I Really Didn't Have My Own Opinions And Then Sort Of Transformed Into This Angel Which Is Really Marilyn Manson And Then The Final Stage Is Antichrist Superstar Which Is The More Nihilistic, Totalitarian Element In Everybody's Personality, That, Is A Real Struggle On The Album And In My Life, Between That Power.

It Happens Every Millennium. Now More Than Ever, Man Threatens To Destroy Himself With His Own Technology, And All The Ideas Contained Within Big Brother Exist Within Little Brother. We're All Watching Ourselves. We Are Our Own Oppressors. This Is A Time When An Idea Like God Is Needed More Than Ever. For Me, I've Found That God Exists Within Yourself And What You Create. The Only Thing We've Got To Look Forward To Is Saving Ourselves

My Feelings Are, If You're Gonna Lead A Rock N' Roll Lifestyle, Don't Let It Affect Your Work. I Know I Can Stay Up All Night And Still Come In The Next Day And Write A Song, And Nothing Will Stop Me From Doing It. I Expect The Same From Everyone Else.

The Most Genius Ideas Are In The Minds Of Children And Lunatics. I Describe Myself As Somewhere In Between.

Donohue: "it Is Christianity That [manson] Hates, And It Is Catholicism That He Hates Most Of All. This Guy Is At War With Christ." Manson: "i Can't Possibly Be At War With Christ, Because Your Religion Killed Him And What He Stood For. But If You Want To Be At War With Me, Bring It On."

If Your Reality Is The Same As My Reality, Then You're In Trouble.

My Dad Loves What I Do And I Support My Parents Financially Because They Didn't Have A Job That Gave Them A Pension.

The Record Is About Seeing Death And Growing From It, And In The End, Being Strong And Being Alive.

Gradually, I Began To Resent Christian School And Doubt Everything I Was Told. It Became Clear That The Suffering They Were Praying To Be Released From Was A Suffering They Had Imposed On Themselves—and Now Us. The Beast They Lived In Fear Of Was Really Themselves: It Was Man, Not Some Mythological Demon, That Was Going To Destroy Man In The End. And This Beast Had Been Created Out Of Their Fear.

Capitalism Has Made It This Way, Old Fashioned Fascism Will Take It Away.

The Internet Is The Trailer Park For The Soul.

Strangely Enough A Lot Of My Ideals Are Christian In A Sense But I Don't Like The Way That Religion Is Portrayed In America But, I Think, The Album "antichrist Superstar" Really Expresses, When You Look At The Lyrics It Expresses, How I Feel.

I Don't Think I Have Ever Tried To Create Things To Encourage People To Hurt Others, Or Themselves.

And I Could Be Much More Shocking. I Think I've Adopted A Sense Of Subtlety. I Don't Sit Around Wondering How I Can Make Myself Even Stranger To The World.

I've Never Treated Anyone In My Band Like They're Not On The Same Level As Me. I'm Not That Kind Of Person.

I Have Something That Makes Me Happy On Some Level And This Is A Good Way For Me To Deal With The Torment Of That Teenage Life Gave Me

If What You Do Is Being Threatened As A Profession, That Could Be Scary. But That's The Same Reason Why I Walked Out On Stage Many Times After Receiving Death Threats. I Couldn't Live Without Doing What I Wanted To Do. So At The Same Time I Have To Be Willing To Die For It.

It's My Job To Be The Pierrot, The Clown, In The Theatrical Sense.

If I Hadn't Gone To A Private Christian School, I'd Never Have Built Up Enough Animosity To Want To Have Started A Band. And Now That I Have One, The Fact That They Are Giving Me Such Resistance And Publicity, They Have Made Me Far Bigger Than They'd Ever Have Wanted Me To Have Become. So I Guess In A Strange Way The Christians Have Influenced Me The Most.

Rumors, Stories... I'm Used To Them. I Got My Ribs Removed, I Was On 'the Wonder Years'... You Know There's A Different Story Every Day.

I'm Someone Who Is Open-minded To New Experiences Because They Teach You New Things.

New Experiences

Part Of Me Is Afraid To Get Close To People Because I'm Afraid That They're Going To Leave.

I've Always Been Paranoid About The Police, Because Even When I'm Not Doing Anything Illegal, I'm Thinking About Doing Something Illegal. So, Whenever I'm Around A Cop, I Get Uncomfortable And Nervous, Worried That I'll Say The Wrong Thing Or Look So Guilty They'll Arrest Me Anyway. Being Completely Out Of My Mind On Drugs Doesn't Help The Situation Any.

I'm Chaos, I've Always Been Chaos, My Point On Earth Is Chaos.

Yes, I'm Reckless And Sometime Express No Concern For My Own Well Being, And I Express A Misanthropic View Of The World, But To Have An Opinion, You Can't Be A Nihilist.

These People Are Artists. These People Are Musicians. They're Taking It Out And Trying To Express It That Way.

I Eat Innocent Meat, The House Wife I Will Beat, The Prolife I Will Kill. What You Won't Do, I Will.

I Usually Wake Up Far After Breakfast. So I Have No Other Choice But To Go Straight To Dinner.

I'm A Controversial Artist, One Who Dares To Have An Opinion And Bothers To Create Music And Videos That Challenge People's Ideas In A World That Is Watered-down And Hollow. In My Work I Examine The America We Live In, And I've Always Tried To Show People That The Devil We Blame Our Atrocities On Is Really Just Each One Of Us. So Don't Expect The End Of The World To Come One Day Out Of The Blue – It's Been Happening Every Day For A Long Time.

Sometimes I Wonder If I'm A Character Being Written, Or If I'm Writing Myself.

People Only Hate What They See In Themselves.
