I Care About The People I Know And Love The Most, But I Also Care About What The People I Don't Know Think In The Sense That I Want Them To Think And Understand Me In A Certain Way. I Don't Base My Life Around Either One, And I Don't Change The Way I Live To Please Either Set Of People, But I Do Care.

Making A Difference

I've Always Believed That A Person Is Smart. It's People That Are Stupid.

Man's Greatest Fear Is Chaos.

For Me, The Key To Longevity - And Immortality, In A Sense - Has To Do With Transformation.

I Was Very Apprehensive, Mostly Because I Didn’t Want To Get Caught. By Now, I Had Begun To Feel Removed From The Everyday World Of Morality. Guilt Had Become More A Fear Of Getting Caught Than Any Sense Of Right Or Wrong.

Christians Are A Lot Like Dinosaurs - About To Become Extinct.

Ultimately, Because I'm An Artist, I Can't Ever Consider Myself A Nihilist, So I Suppose I'm Optimistic.

People Only Hate What They See In Themselves.

Dear God, If You Were Alive, You Know We'd Kill You.

I Am A Character, So That's The Problem. There Are Many, Many Levels To How I Behave. Some People Might Associate Being Marilyn Manson As Having Lipstick On, But I Don't Really Have Some Sort Of Other Lifestyle.

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

I Spent Hours Flipping Through The Stations, Watching Pat Robertson Preach About Society’s Evils And Then Ask People To Call Him With Their Credit Card Number.

My Fans Make Me Feel As Young As They Are. We Share The Same Spirit And I Share Their Outlook On Life

Outlook On Life

A Pill To Make You Numb, A Pill To Make You Dumb.

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.

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

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.

If You Dont Educate Your Kids... I Will.

Seance To Renaissance. So It Begins

I Pity Anybody Who Has To Spend A Day With Me.

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

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

A Lot Of People Don't Think About It, But The Bible Has Every Horror Element That You Can Imagine. It's Got The Devil, The Antichrist, Lucifer, And Satan - Which Are Four Different Characters. It's Got The End Of The World. You've Got Zombies, Giants, Demon Possession, A Lot Of Murder.

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.

I Don't Like The Drugs, But The Drugs Like Me.

Drugs And Alcohol

My Pain's Not Ashamed To Repeat Itself

I'm Thinking About Entering A Marilyn Manson Costume Contest To See If I Lose.

There's Nothing That Anyone Could Say About Me That Would Hurt My Feelings.

Hurt My Feelings

I Was Becoming The Cold, Emotionally Crippled Monster I Always Wanted To Be, And I Wasn’t So Sure I Liked It. But It Was Too Late. The Metamorphosis Was Already Well Under Way.

The Idea Of Marilyn Manson Has Been Brewing In My Head, One Form Or Another, Since I Was About 12 Years Old At A Christian High School In Canton, Ohio.

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

People Hate To Describe Their Music. What We Have Come To Call It Is "beat Up Your Mom" Music. As Far As Describing What It Sounds Like, I Guess You'd Have To Listen.

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.

I Do Have A Lot Of Sexual Imagery In My Performance. But I Don't Think It's Ever Encouraging Anyone To Have Sex. I Think I Just Show My Own Sexuality, But I Don't Think I've Ever Really Written About Having Sex Or Anything Like That.

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.

I Don't Expect Everyone To Get Something Deep Out Of It. Some People Can Just Listen To The Music, Or Get Their Aggressions Out, But I Think With Any Great Painting Or Movie, Album Or Whatever It Is, It's Better If People Can Take What They Need From It. That They're Not Forced To Get Some Particular Message.

Watching Movies Is My One Distraction.

Sell Your Soul To Yourself. You'll Make More Money.

If People Really Stopped And Realized How Much Art And Creative People Move The World Versus Politics And Religion, I Mean It’s Not Even Up For Debate. An Artist At Least Creates Things, Puts Things Into The World. Where As These Other People Are Destroying Things, Taking Things Out Of The World.

People Love To Judge, As Long As They Have Somebody Else To Judge They Don't Give In And Answer With Hate Would Drag Me Down, It Would Simply Put Me Into The Same Position They Are, I Don't Believe That Their Position Is An Enviable One!

Art, To Me, Is A Question. It Should Never Be An Answer.

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

I've Been Able To Watch And To Weather A Lot Of Different Periods In Entertainment, Politics And Life.

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."

I Haven't Looked At Marriage In The Conventional Sense, As Far As Settling Down. I Look At It As Putting Faith In Another Person, Which Has Always Been Hard For Me To Do.

Marilyn Monroe Wasn't Even Her Real Name, Charles Manson Isn't His Real Name, And Now, I'm Taking That To Be My Real Name. But What's Real? You Can't Find The Truth, You Just Pick The Lie You Like The Best.

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.

He's Just Simply John5 Because He's The Fifth Person That We've Hired. In The Future, Everyone Will Have Numbers Instead Of Names

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.

What I'm Doing Is Keeping The Spirit Of Rock'n Roll Alive. Rock 'n Roll Is Supposed To Be Fast And Loud And Its Supposed To Piss Off The Older Generation.

The Imagination Is Precious. Don't Lose It. Don't Lose The Child In You.

I Hate Therefore I Am...

I Can't Sleep Without The Tv On. It Doesn't Matter Where It Is. I Don't Like Silence. My Ears Ring From Loud Music.

If They Think That An Artist Can Destroy Their Faith, Then Their Faith Is Rather Fragile.

If You Lose Emotion, And You Gain It Back, You Realise That Hate And Love Are Very Important To Distribute Properly. So I'm Not Going To Waste Any Kind Of Emotion On Things That Aren't Related To Me.

Someday, When I Manage To Finally Figure Out How To Take Care Of Myself, Then I'll Consider Taking Care Of Someone Else.

I Can't Satisfy Myself With Just Trying To Tie All Of My Imagination Into Music, Especially When Music Is Not Appreciated As An Art Form As Much As It Used To Be.

My Mom Was Always A Big Fan Of Elvis. She Made Me Listen To Elvis When I Was A Kid. I Hated It. And I Think Now I've Kind Of Grown Up To Fill In Some Of The Sort Of Controversy That He Created Back In His Day, But In A Much More Extreme, Modern Sense.

Apart From A Very Close Circle Of Friends, Few People Know My True Self, And It's Normal, I Never Put It Into My Music.

As A Kid I Had Buck Teeth And Braces And Acne. I Hated What I Saw. I'm Still Not Comfortable, But That's Why I Change And Adapt The Way I Look.

Looking Back, The Only Person That Really Surprised Me Was Chris Vrenna Only Because I've Known Him Since 1992, And For Him Not To Be Able To Say It To My Face, "hey, I Don't Want To Do This Anymore." Instead, He Said "i'll See You Tomorrow" And Then He Never Came Back. I Find That Strange. I Don't Know If He Is Afraid Of Me Or Thinks I'm Going To Beat Him Over The Head With Something. I'm Not Like That.

Music Critics Get Their Records For Free So Their Opinions Usually Don't Matter.

I Didn't Go To Guitar School And I Don't Know How To Play Chords, But I Can Do It In My Own Way And I Think Sometimes That Will Piss Off Some Guitar Players Who Sit Around Playing Their Stuff All Day Long And Then There Are People Who Like That.

If You Intend To Create Something That People Will Observe And Listen To, You've Got To Listen To Them First.

I Feel Like I've Dreamed Half Of My Life That Hasn't Happened Yet, So A Lot Of Times I'm Going Along, And I Do Stuff, And I Know That I've Done It. I Have Deja Vus More Than I Have Regular Experiences. If Half Of Your Day Is A Deja Vu, Then You Start To Wonder, 'what Is Real And What Isn't?'

For Me, Art Is Supposed To Be A Question Mark.

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.

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've Started To Think That Maybe I Wouldn't Mind Passing My Demented Genius On To Some Small Thing Who Can Set Fire And Breathe Profanity.

We Live In A Society Of Victimization, Where People Are Much More Comfortable Being Victimized Than Actually Standing Up For Themselves.

Law Is Only What Is Popular. Not What's Right Or Wrong.

Marilyn Manson Has Always Been Intended To Confuse Some, Anger Some And Make Some People Feel At Home. There's No Way To Misunderstand What I Do - But Everyone Can Understand It Differently. That's The Only Way I've Learned To Embrace Art - It Has To Be A Question Mark, Not An Answer.

Things Like, People Saying The New Album Would Debut At Number One On The Billboard Charts In The U.s. And I Said, "no It's Gonna Be Number Three." Because Number 3 Is A Very Powerful Number On The Album. It's Repeated Quite Often. Then It Did Chart An Number 3. Was It A Coincidence You Decide. If Your In Touch With Your Subconscious, You Can Really Use It To Your Advantage

The Internet Is A Very Powerful Tool, But Right Now It's Being Handled By A Lot Of Fools. And I Think Us Together, Marilyn Manson As A Whole, What We All Stand For, Should Be The Biggest Spider On The Web. I Think That It Will Become Our Web. Not Something That Uses Us, But Something That We Will Control

Rock N Roll Is About Drugs.

The Opposite Of Love Is Apathy, And Hate Is Really The Same As Love-if Your So Consumed With Hatred For Someone, You Might As Well Be Loving Them Because Your Thinking About Them For The Same Amount Of Time.

As A Performer, I Wanted To Be The Loudest, Most Persistent Alarm Clock I Could Be, Because There Didn’t Seem Like Any Other Way To Snap Society Out Of Its Christianity- And Media-induced Coma.

If Everyone Can Make Music. Make Better Music.

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

I Wanna Outrace The Speed Of Pain.

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.

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.

If A Kid Is Old Enough To Drive A Car Or Buy A Gun, Isn't He Old Enough To Be Held Personally Responsible For What He Does With His Car Or Gun? Or If He's A Teenager, Should Someone Else Be Blamed Because He Isn't As Enlightened As An Eighteen-year-old?

The Way I Live My Life Represents A Much Bigger Part Of America Than Anyone Would Care To Imagine
