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.

It's Really Important For Me To Get Across To Our Fans That Whenever I Put Myself In Different Circumstances. It Is To Learn From It So I Can Relay It To Others.

If You Act Like A Rock Star, You Will Be Treated Like One

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

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 Don't Want To Have A Gravestone. I Want To Have All My Friends Burn Me And Then Snort The Ashes. I Think That's The Only Way To Go Out.

Don't Ever Empty The Bucket Of Mystery. Never Let People Define What You Do. It's Not About Zigging When You Should Zag. It's Not About Doing Something Unprecedented And Unpredictable. It's Just About Never Being A Word, Or Something That Is Not In The Process Of Transformation...

It's Always About Being Yourself And Not Being Ashamed Of Being Different Or Thinking Different.

Being Different

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

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.

I Have Mood Poisoning. Must Be Something I Hate.

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.

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.

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'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.

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 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.

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

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

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. I've Grown Tired Of Talking About Religion. It's Time For Me To Move On. I'm Trying To Redefine The Idea Of Spirituality And Make It Now Such A Bad Word For Myself, Because I Find That I Sound Really Stupid Saying It Sometimes

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

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

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.

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.

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.

What I Know Is My Music Gets Blamed For School Shootings.

School Shooting

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

You Have To Be Saved To Get Into Heaven....you Only Have To Be You To Get Into Hell.

Are People Raised To Be Villains Or Vilified Like I Have Become?

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.

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 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.

I Fall In Love With Everything I Also Hate Everything. It’s Very Hard To Be A Misanthrope And A Romantic.

Falling In Love

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.

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 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?'

Better Pray For Hell, Not Hallelujah.

I Realized That I Started Writing Songs To Make People Feel How I Felt, Rather Than Just Making Them Feel Something. That's Not The Way I Should Do Things.

I Don't Try To Be Bad As Much As I Just Am By Nature.

As You Keep Getting More Popular, People Are Continually Wanting More From You And It Seems To Me That All They Want In The End Is Your Death.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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 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.

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."

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.

We Will No Longer Be Oppressed By The Fascism Called Christianity. We Will No Longer Be Oppressed By The Mentality Of The Police State.

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'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.

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

I Believe A Lot About Psychology, Or I'd Like To Learn About It - I'm Someone Who Likes To Learn About Everything.

...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.

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 Mean It's Based In Individuality And, Strength And Believe In Yourself, Believe In, You're Your Own God.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Do Not Seek Death, Seek Destruction.

God Is Just A Statistics.

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

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

I'm Not Going To Be Some Kind Of Pc, Tree-hugger.

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

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. In The Past, I Have Disrespected People In My Band And That Was My Weakness. I Think Some People Have A Hard Time Understanding How I Think.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Rock N Roll Is About Drugs.

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.

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.

Why Should We Believe In A God, That Doesnt Believe In Us?

If You're Gonna Pretend To Be Something, Then You Have To At Least Live Up To What It Is.

Society Has Traditionally Always Tried To Find Scapegoats, Well Here I Am.

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

I Think Everybody's Got A Presentation. Everybody Looks A Certain Way Because They Want To Convey A Certain Image. You Look A Certain Way Because You Want People To Listen To You In A Certain Way.

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

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

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

Close Mindedness

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 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.

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.

My Pain's Not Ashamed To Repeat Itself

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.

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.

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

I Never Wanted It To End This Way, But Flies Will Lay Their Eggs.

Stop Praying. Start Thinking.

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

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.

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 Like To Make People Think Differently Than They Did Before I Walked In The Room.

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 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.

Having An Avatar Doesn't Give You An Identity, And Having A Persona Online Doesn't Make You A Personality Either.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

It's Better To Use A Curse Word Than To Hurt Somebody Else, I Find.

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.

When All Of Your Wishes Are Granted, Many Of Your Dreams Will Be Destroyed.

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.

Anybody Who Does Not Evolve Can Become A Self-parody. I Have To Evolve On A Daily Basis Just To Keep My Own Interest In What I Do.

It's Not Like I Turn Off Marilyn Manson And I'm An Everyday Guy Who Goes And Has Another Job And Doesn't Think About Any Of This Stuff. Marilyn Manson Is The Most Real Thing That Can Come From Me.

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

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

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.

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.

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.

I'd Like To Think That I'd Helped People All Over The World To Question The Things They Otherwise Would Have Accepted As The Truth. I'd Also Like To Think That I'd Charmed Them A Bit With My Lovely Vocal Stylings And The Baring Of My Lovely Arse.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I Fall In Love Very Easily.

Falling In Love

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

Say No To Drugs

I Wasn't Born With Enough Middle Fingers

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

Man Is Still At The Learning Stage, And Mankind Is So Arrogant To Think That He's The Highest Form Of Evolution On Earth. There's So Much Of The Brain That We Still Don't Use, And That's All I Ever Try To Do - Go To The Next Level

Your Beautiful Don't Let Anyone Tell You Different

I Am The Pedophiles Dream, A Messianic Peter Pan.

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

Sacrifice To Me Is Something You Do Without Expecting Something In Return.

Expecting Something In Return

Expecting Something

When I Finish A Picture I Don't Show It To Anyone If I Feel It's Not Good Enough Yet. I've Learnt To Listen To My Partners And My Friends. For Me It's The Biggest Success If They Like It.

Not Good Enough

Anyone I May Have Used Should Feel Happy That They Even Had A Use. It's Better Than Being Useless.

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

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 ?

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

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

Everything I Was Afraid Of When I Was Growing Up, I've Become. I've Taken On My Nightmares, Like The Devil And The End Of The World, And I've Become Those Things.

I'm A Teen Distortion, Survived Abortion.

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.

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.

My Desire Is To Be Pure Again And Not Dirtied By The World. But It's My Duty To Be As Ugly And As Filthy As I Am, So The Audience Can Experience What I Have.

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

To Admit You Want To Have A Comeback Means You Have To Admit You Weren't What You Were Supposed To Be. You Dropped Below Your Own Standard.

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.

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'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.

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.

If One More 'journalist' Makes A Cavalier Statement About Me And My Band, I Will Personally Or With My Fans' Help, Greet Them At Their Home And Discover Just How Much They Believe In Their Freedom Of Speech.

Freedom Of Speech

I'm So Famous, People Expect Me To Sell As Many Records As Celine Dion Or Puff Daddy.

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

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

Good And Evil Go Hand In Hand, You Can't Seperate Them.

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 Burden Of Originality Is One That Most People Don't Want To Accept. They'd Rather Sit In Front Of The Tv And Let That Tell Them What They're Supposed To Like, What They're Supposed To Buy, And What They're Supposed To Laugh At.

I Don't Want To Feel Like I've Matured. That's A Stupid Word That I Never Want To Use.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Drugs And Alcohol

You'll Understand When I'm Dead.

I Was Always Trying To Do Different Things To Entertain People. And At The Same Time, I Think, I Was, Whether Subconsciously Or Not, Trying To Get Kicked Out Of School Because I Hated It So Much.

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

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.

This Is The Culture You're Raising Your Kids In. Don't Be Surprised If It Blows Up In Your Face.

If Every Cigarette You Smoke Takes Seven Minutes Off Of Your Life, Every Game Of Dungeons & Dragons You Play Delays The Loss Of Your Virginity By Seven Hours.

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.

We Don't Like To Kill Our Unborn; We Need Them To Grow Up And Fight Our Wars.

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.

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

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.

I Decided To Make Music Again At A Time When I Couldn't Have Had More Obstacles.
