Being Completely Out Of My Mind On Drugs Doesn't Help The Situation Any.

If God Does Exist, It's In Music And In Art, I Think There's More Spiritually In What I Do Than In A Lot Of Religious Groups Judging, Especially In The Way They've Treated Me In The Past Couple Of Years.

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 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.

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.

They'll See It. And It Doesn't Matter If They Don't. It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. But I Do Intend To Move More Into The Mainstream. Marilyn Manson Is Just The First Phase.

Occasionally, Something Will Happen That Will Change Your Opinion Of Someone Irrevocably, That Will Shatter The Ideal You've Built Up Around A Person And Force You To See Them For The Fallible And Human Creature That They Really Are.

Sometimes You Feel Awkward Being What You're Best At, You Feel Like You Have To Be Something New.

All The Seven Deadly Sins Are Man's True Nature. To Be Greedy. To Be Hateful. To Have Lust. Of Course, You Have To Control Them, But If You're Made To Feel Guilty For Being Human, Then You're Going To Be Trapped In A Never-ending Sin-and-repent Cycle That You Can't Escape From.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 People Are Going To Hate Me, I Want Them To Hate Me For The Right Reasons

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'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.

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

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?'

Hate Today, No Love For Tomorrow

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.

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.

If I Believed In An Outside Force That We Wanted To Call God - And I Believe That There Is One. I Think God Would Appreciate What I Say, Because I Can't See God Wanting To Create A World Full Of Idiots

Art Is A Big Question Mark.

From Jesse James To Charles Manson, The Media, Since Their Inception, Have Turned Criminals Into Folk Heroes.

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

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

I Talked To Snoop Doggy Dog Today. Well I'm Not Sure If You Could Really Call It Talked Because I Could Hardly Understand What He Was Saying. But I Think He Was Trying To Communicate Was That He Wanted To Work With Me In Some Sort Of Capacity And Something Involving Marijuana.

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

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.

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

I Put Out A Lot Of Ideas In The Lyrics And The Way I Do My Things. There's A Lot Of Ideas Floatin' Around And People Who Know What It Is. People Will Pick It Up If They Know What To Pick Up.

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.

If You Lose Who You Are, What Do You Have?

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.'

People Only Hate What They See In Themselves.

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

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

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

When You're Taught To Love Everyone, To Love Your Enemies, Then What Value Does That Place On Love?

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

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

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

I Have Mood Poisoning. Must Be Something I Hate.

I'm Just Here For The Narcotics.

I'm Completely Unlike A Lot Of Other Performers In The Past Who Have Been Forgiven Or Come To Terms With The Real World Because They Tell Everyone Their Performance Is 'just A Show.'

I Refuse To Say Things Behind People's Backs.

Whether You Interpret The Bible As Literature Or As The Final Word Of Whatever God May Be, Christianity Has Given Us An Image Of Death And Sexuality That We Have Based Our Culture Around. A Half-naked Dead Man Hangs In Most Homes And Around Our Necks, And We Have Just Taken That For Granted All Of Our Lives.

I've Known Johnny Depp Since I Was 19.

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've Never Written Songs About Relationships. I've Written Songs About How I Feel. The Songs Are More About Me, Than Another Person. That's The Way I Like To Look At It.

I Get Shocked By People Smoking Cigarettes Sometimes. I Get Shocked By Watching Talk Shows. People's Moralities Are So Far Below What I Would Consider Standard.

I Don't Need To Drive. I Have No Business Driving. I Would Never Be Able To Find My Keys.

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.

People Tend To Associate Anyone Who Looks And Behaves Differently With Illegal Or Immoral Activity.

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.

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

I'm Not Against God, I'm Against The Misuse Of God.

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

The Balance Between Good And Evil, And The Choices We Make Between Them, Are Probably The Single Most Important Aspects Shaping Our Personalities And Humanity.

I Fall In Love Very Easily.

Falling In Love

Nothing's Gonna Change The World, Nothing's Gonna Change The World. There Was Lennon And A Happy Gun, There Were Words On The Pavement.

I'm Absolutely Not Looking For Someone Who Agrees With Me About Everything Or Someone Who Wants To Please Me By Believing What I Believe.

When You Get To Heaven, You Will Wish You Were In Hell.

Hopefully, I'll Be Remembered As The Person Who Brought An End To Christianity.

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.

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

The First Time I Performed Musically, I Threw Up.

Actors Always Want To Be Musicians, And Musicians Want To Be Actors

My Dream Of An Apocalypse That Was The Antichrist Superstar Has Unfolded. I Could See That They Only Looked And Acted Like Humans, But They Had Lost Their Souls, They Were Mechanical Animals

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.

What Happens Someday If More People Own My Record Than The Bible? That Will Make Me God Because A Lot More People Believe In Me Than Him? Because It's Just About Popularity. There Are Plenty Of People In The World How Have Never Heard Of Jesus, While America Takes Him For Granted.

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

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.

Nowhere In The Gospels Is Intelligence Praised As A Virtue.

Positive Atheism

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.

For Me It's Very Important To Express My Thoughts, The Pictures I Carry Inside Of Me, Maybe Because It's Important To Get Them Out.

Better Pray For Hell, Not Hallelujah.

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.

All The Drugs In The World Won't Save Us From Ourselves.

This Is The Golden Age Of Grotesque.

In Music, You Feel A Connection To The Voice And Think About The Person Behind It. In Art That's Secondary.

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

Say No To Drugs

If We're Bringing Up Kids That Are So Stupid That They Kill Themselves Because Of A Song, What Good Are The Kids In The First Place ?

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.

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.

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

There's Days When I'd Love Everybody To Relize That Things Have Gone Too Far, And We Need To Be Born Again...but There Are Other Days When I Think The World Deserves To Be Destroyed. Why Should I Help Anybody? Everybody's Stepped On Me My Whole Life.

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.

Paintings Are Seldom Guilty And Often Framed For Crimes They Did Not Commit. Some Cover Holes-holes In Walls, Holes In Lives. Some Make Holes-in Wallets, Holes In Hearts...in Negative Space.

Stop Praying. Start Thinking.

Use The Negativity With A Space Bar. Don't Be Empty Trash. @#&$¥£€%*+=[] .

As A Kid I Just Felt Like An Outsider.

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.

Anybody Intelligent Enough To Realize What America Is, Is Not Going To Sit Around And Do Nothing About It. They're Going To Be The Same Way That I Am. They're Going To Be The Same Way Our Fans Are. They're Going To Be Pissed.
