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.

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

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.

New Experiences

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

Say No To Drugs

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.

My First Dissatisfaction Has Always Been With Religion.

Dissatisfaction

Jesus Is A Half-naked Guy, Hanging, Nailed To A Cross, And Then People Wear That Around Their Neck, And Then Those Are The People That Are Upset About Violence In Movies.

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.

Let The Ugly Light Of The World In, We Are No Longer Blind.

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.

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'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.

One Hates What One Fears.

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?

If I Were In A Room Full Of People, I'd Rather Be The Person Who Is More Interesting Than The One Who Is Wallpaper.

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.

This Isn't A Mob, Won't Need To Change The Names. Everyone Around You Has Murdered Someone, Something Sacred. There Isn't One Nail Without Dirt Under It. There Isn't Any White Cotton Panties That Aren't Soaked And Stained Red. It's Better To Push Something When It's Slipping, Than To Risk Being Dragged Down.

If I Think I Weigh Too Much, I'll Lose Weight; If My Hair Looks Stupid, I'll Cut It. I Guess I'm My Harshest Critic. I'm Not Easily Satisfied.

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.

I'm Everything They Are Afraid Of. Everything They Hate. Everything They Try To Hide And A Lot More. Besides, I Speak My Mind And Show People What's Out There In Reality.

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.

Marriage Changes Everything.

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.

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.

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.

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?'

The Boy That You Loved Is The Man That You Fear.

Do Not Seek Death, Seek Destruction.

I Don't Encourage People To Choose Any Sort Of Sexuality.

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

There's A Lot Of Great Stories And A Lot Of Great Values In The Holy Bible, And I Actually Relate To A Lot Of Them. The Character, The Idea, Or The Part Of My Personality That I Describe As Antichrist Superstar, Is A Lot Like Lucifer In The Bible. Someone Who Was Kicked Out Of Heaven Because He Wanted To Be God

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.)

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

Find Out What's Really Out There. I Never Said To Be Like Me, I Say Be Like You And Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

When You're In A Relationship, If You Just Break It Down To Regular Terms, People Are Attracted To Something, And That's What They Want You To Be, And That's What You Should Just Be, And For Me, It's Very Simple - If I Meet A Girl And I Say, 'this Is What I Like About You. Just Continue. Every Day'

I'm My Most Creative Between 3 And 5 A.m. That's The Way I've Always Been

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

Better Pray For Hell, Not Hallelujah.

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

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."

God Is Just A Statistics.

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

Times Have Not Become More Violent. They Have Just Become More Televised.

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

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.

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.

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.

I Traveled Into The Future To Get Back In Time.

I Think Guilt Is The Biggest Problem In America, People Are Always Feeling Guilty About Being Themselves. You Can't Say What You Want Because It's Not Politically Correct. You Can't Look Like You Want Because You, The People At The Office Aren't Going To Like You And So On.

Things Have Become Devalued To The Point Where People Don't Realize The Repercussions, That They're Devaluing Themselves. It Could End Up Bringing About Chaos, A Lawless Situation.

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

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

I Fall In Love Very Easily.

Falling In Love

Not Only Are Love And Hate Such Closely Related Emotions, But It's A Lot Easier To Hate Someone You've Cared About Than Someone You Never Have.

There Was Definitely A Lack Of Any Sort Of Villain In The Clinton Era, Which Is Why When Columbine Happened, It Was Easy To Pick On Me. My Face Was Around And It Made Good Tv.

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

I`m Not A Slave To A God That Doesn`t Exist.

Nowhere In The Gospels Is Intelligence Praised As A Virtue.

Positive Atheism

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

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.

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.

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

Drugs And Alcohol

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.

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

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

If Someone Listens To Our Music, And It Makes Them Creative, That Makes Me Happier Than Anything.

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.

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.

You Get Depressed Because You Know That You're Not What You Should Be.

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.

Just Remember When You Think You're Free, The Crack In Your Heart Is Me.

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.

Marilyn Manson Is A Criticism Of Gimmickry, While Being Itself A Gimmick.

Marilyn Manson Is Simply Too Dangerous For Darien Lake.

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 Never Said To Be Like Me, I Say Be Like You And Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

I Don't Care If Your World Is Ending Today Because I Wasn't Invited To It Anyway.

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 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.

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.
