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

Spare Time Is Like Spare Change. It's Hard To Quantify, The Definition Of That Phrase. What Do I Do When I'm Not Onstage Singing, Or Sleeping, With Or Without Someone Else? I Watch Movies.

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.

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

As A Kid I Just Felt Like An Outsider.

When You Want To Die, You At Least Have A Goal. You're Aiming For Something. It's Not A Good Goal, But At Least You Want Something. And You've Got Anger And Fear, But At Least You're Feeling Something.

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.

I've Always Been Paranoid About The Police, Because Even When I'm Not Doing Anything Illegal, I'm Thinking About Doing Something Illegal.

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.

The Advantage Of The Internet Is That It Has Taken Away The Charade Of Politics. China Has Heard Of Democracy And People Know About Certain Concepts They Wouldn't Have Previously.

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.

People Are Very Surprised To Hear Me Say That A Lot Of My Values Are Christian Values. I Think That's Part Of My Shock. I Just Don't Like The Way That Christianity Combined With The Influence Of Television Has Bred A Nation Of Weakness. (christian Television Do Get The Facts Wrong Sometimes And The Image They Portray Turns Most People Off.)

I Believe That You Are Not Stuck With A Pre-destiny. I Believe That There Is Ways To See All These Things That Are Laid Down In Front Of You And Where You Belong And To Smack Yourself In The Face When You Realize That You've Strayed Off Your Path And Get Back To Where Your Path Is.

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.

Kids Need To Start Thinking For Themselves. Not To Be Like Their Friends That Think They're Individuals. I Don't Want You To Be Like Us, I Want You To Be Like You.

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

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.

Once I Threw A Water Bottle From The Stage Into The Audience, And It Hit Tony Bennett In The Head. It Was A Special Moment For Me.

There Is Good And Evil Within All Of Us, And I Enjoy Searching To Bring That Out Through My Music. I Like It That There Are Questions Brought Out By My Music. People Must Look Inside Themselves For The Answers

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 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.

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.

Rock N Roll Is About Drugs.

Seance To Renaissance. So It Begins

I Am Truly Amazed That After All This Time, Religious Groups Still Need To Attack Entertainment And Use These Tragedies As A Pitiful Excuse For Their Own Self-serving Publicity. In Response To Their Protests, I Will Provide A Show Where I Balance My Songs With A Wholesome Bible Reading. This Way, Fans Will Not Only Hear My So-called, Violent Point Of View, But We Can Also Examine The Virtues Of Wonderful 'christian' Stories Of Disease, Murder, Adultery, Suicide And Child Sacrifice. Now That Seems Like 'entertainment' To Me.

I Don't Think We Should Ever Regret Anything We Do. I Think We Have To Accept The Consequences And You Learn From Your Mistakes, And That's How You Grow As A Person

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

Sometimes Music, Movies And Books Are The Only Things That Let Us Feel Like Someone Else Feels Like We Do.

If Things Are Too Perfect, People Are Always So Afraid That It's Going To Change, So They Ruin It Themselves.

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

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.

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.

They'll Just Cut Our Wrists Like Cheap Coupons And Say That Death Was On Sale Today.

I'm Not Anything Like Brad Pitt Or Antonio Banderas, But Maybe It's The Taboo Element Of My Image, Which Is Almost Deathlike, That Attracts Them. I Should Be The Last Person That [people] Should Be Attracted To.

There's A Big Difference, I Discovered, Between Wanting To Die And Not Wanting To Live. When You Want To Die, You At Least Have A Goal. When You Don't Want To Live, You're Really Just Empty. That's The Point I Was At Before I Was Able To Make.

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 Traveled Into The Future To Get Back In Time.

...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'm Tired Of People Calling Me A Devil Worshipper. It's Kind Of Pointless You Know. Because If The Devil Did Exist, He'd Be Worshipping Me, Because I'm More Successful Than He Is.

Marilyn Manson Is Simply Too Dangerous For Darien Lake.

That Becomes The Revolution, To Be Idealistic Enough That You Think You Can Change The World, And What You Find Is You Can't Change Anything But Yourself.

I View My Job As Being Someone Who Is Supposed To Piss People Off. I Don't Want To Be Just One-of-the-guys. I Don't Want To Be Just A Smiling Face You See On Television Presenting Some Vapid Kind Of Easily-digestible Garbage.

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.

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

Fear Is Something I Instill In Other People, Mostly Young Girls.

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?

Libido, Fascination, Too Much Oral Defecation. White Trash Get Down On Your Knees, Time For Cake And Sodomy.

Johnny Depp Is Like A Brother To Me. We Have Matching Tattoos On Our Backs - Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers Of Evil, This Giant Skeleton Thing. It's Kind Of A Secret. People Say To Us, 'why Did You Get That?' And We Say, 'no Reason.'

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 Put A Mustache And Some Eyebrows On, And I Looked Just Like Nicolas Cage. ... We Have The Same Amazingly Handsome Good Looks.

Is Adult Entertainment Killing Our Children? Or Is Killing Our Children Entertaining Our Adults?

A Lot Of People Don't Want To Make Their Own Decisions. They're Too Scared. It's Much Easier To Be Told What To Do.

I Always Had The Desire To Entertain People, Whether It Was To Make 'em Laugh Or To Scare 'em Or Stir Things Up Just To Cause Problems.

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.

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.

I Always Felt, Rather Than Play By The Mainstream Standards, We've Always Done What We Do And The Mainstream Has Finally Decided To, Like That But, We've Only Gotten More Extreme So, The Band Hasn't Got More Commercial, It's Just That More People Understand Where We're Coming From So More People Are In To It.

The Most Outragous Thing That I Could Imagine Ever Doing Is Putting On A Pair Of Jeans And Going To The Shopping Mall For My Lunch

I've Always Had A Desire To Be Provocative And To Make People Think, But It Wouldn't Be Any Challenge For Me Just To Be Shocking. That Is Where It Begins For Me, Not Where It Stops. 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 Simply Evolved Into The Monster I Created, And I'm Quite Happy With It.

Without The Threat Of Death, There's No Reason To Live... At All.

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.

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.

To Me, Anything That Is A Church Is Really Just Far Too Close Minded.

Close Mindedness

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.

People Are Too Lazy And Too Stupid To Think For Themselves That We've Got Sitcoms With Canned Laughter That Lets You Know When To Laugh If You're Too Stupid To Know When The Joke Is.

You Can Find Inspiration For Man's Behaviour Wherever You Look.

Mechanical Animals For Me Documents The Repair Of My Emotions, The Repair Of My Soul, And This Record Does Deal With God In A Different Way. It Deals With Me Finding God In Art, And In Music. I Think There's More Spirituality In Art Than You Could Find In A Church

Stop Praying. Start Thinking.

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.

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.

America Puts Killers On The Cover Of Time Magazine, Giving Them As Much Notoriety As Our Favorite Movie Stars.

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

I Am Drawn To Women Who Are Independent And Creative, Which Is Problematic Because It's A Struggle, A Competition Of Careers. There's Jealousy.

I Believe Nothing Happens By Accident. My Fame Has Happened For A Reason. My Fans Are My Kindred Spirits In Revolution. If Anyone Chooses To Ignore The Message Or The Messenger, They Do So At Their Own Risk. Believe It Or Not, There Are Many More People Out There That Understand What I Am Trying To Do Than Society Wants To Admit. The Way I Live My Life Represents A Much Bigger Part Of America Than Anyone Would Care To Imagine

The Hero Is Never The Star Of The Story.

I Chose Not To Jump Into The Media Frenzy And Defend Myself, Though I Was Begged To Be On Every Single Tv Show In Existence. They Want To Blame Entertainment? Isn't Religion The First Real Entertainment? People Dress Up In Costumes, Sing Songs And Dedicate Themselves In Eternal Fandom.

If I Had To Do A Record Review, I'd Say It's Got A Cannibal, Consumption, Obsessive, Violent-sex, Romance Angle, But With An Upbeat Swing To It.

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

If Satan Wasn't Around, Churches Would Go Out Of Business.

Comedians Have A Huge Carte Blanche And The Ability To Get Away With Saying A Lot Of Things.

You Might Find Me Outside With A Can Of Hair Spray, Spraying It With The Hope That The Sun Will Burn A Hole In The Earth. Another Part Of Me Hopes People Will Grow Up And Evolve And Get Smarter. That's The Paradox Of Marilyn Manson.

I Used To Have Nightmares About The Antichrist - What Would Happen, Where It Would Come From, And Who It Would Be.

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.

I Don't Like Fun, It Upsets Me.

Watching Movies Is My One Distraction.

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. That Mankind Has To Invite Its Own Destruction. And I Think That's Very True, And It's Almost Very American. I Think That's The Type Of Society We're In And It's People's Very Fear Of The Antichrist That Has Created It

I Have Mood Poisoning. Must Be Something I Hate.

I Think That's All A Form Of Wanting To Let Go, Of Wanting To Get Out... It's Not Something Easily Described Or Understood.

It Says Right Here You've Got To Be Saved To Go To Heaven. But The Way I See It, You've Only Got To Be Yourself To Go To Hell.

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

Marilyn Is Real. I Wake Up And I Am Marilyn.

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.

But What's Real? You Can't Find The Truth. You Just Pick The Lie You Like Best. As Long As You Know That Everything's A Lie, You Can't Hurt Yourself.

A Story Might Sell If There's A Headline Like 'marilyn Manson Admits To Being Satanic', All The Little Hypocrites Will Go And Buy The Magazine, Read About What Evil, Weird People We Are And Will Feel Better About Themselves.

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.

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

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.

If You Really Feel Hatred For Someone, And Kind Of Send It Their Way, Then It’s Out Of Your System And In Their Hands. I Always Think It’s Therapeutic.

I Was Never Afriad Of What Was Under The Bed. I Wanted It But Never Got It. I Became It.

The Word 'antichrist', To Me, Is The Collective Disbelief In God.

I Think People Have Always Misinterpreted My Self-destructive Nature As Nihilistic, Because If You Don't Care About The World, You Can't Create Art. I Am Misanthropic And Self-loathing, But Never Nihilistic. And I Think I Act Far Worse Off-stage Than Onstage.

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

I Wish That My Life Could Be Like The Movies, Like Bonnie And Clyde Or The Hunger Or Harold And Maude. And... It Can Be! It Maybe Just Takes Somebody Else Who Is As Fearless As You. It Takes A Person Who Will Not Hesitate.

Everybody Feels Like [a Misfit] At Different Points In Their Life. If You Feel Like Who You Are Is Right For You, Then You Are Beautiful.
