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.

Anything Can Be Misinterpreted. People Can Look At Christ On A Cross And Think, This Is An Image Of Murder, This Is Violent, This Has Sexual Imagery In It. And It Just - I Think It's My Job As An Artist To Be Out There Pushing People's Buttons And Making Them Question Everything.

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.

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?'

I Am The Ism, My Hate's A Prism.

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

It Happens Every Millennium. Now More Than Ever, Man Threatens To Destroy Himself With His Own Technology, And All The Ideas Contained Within Big Brother Exist Within Little Brother. We're All Watching Ourselves. We Are Our Own Oppressors. This Is A Time When An Idea Like God Is Needed More Than Ever. For Me, I've Found That God Exists Within Yourself And What You Create. The Only Thing We've Got To Look Forward To Is Saving Ourselves

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

This Is The Golden Age Of Grotesque.

There's A Certain Group Of People Who Are Always Going To Dislike Me And Disagree With Whatever I Say.

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 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.

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 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.

I Walked Away Exhilarated By My Success, Because There's Nothing Like Making A Difference In Someone's Life, Even If That Difference Is A Lifetime Of Nightmares And A Fortune In Therapy Bills.

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.

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

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

Thinking For Yourself - That's Scarier Than Any Devil Image.

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.

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

I Like To Be Unhinged; I Like To Be Unpredictable. I Like To Make People Worry That Worse Things Can Happen Whenever I Go Out To A Restaurant Or Act In A Movie.

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.

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

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.

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

This Question Is Posed To Mayself, Am I A Man Who Thinks He's An Angel? Or An Angel Who Thinks He's A Man?

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.

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.

Antichrist Superstar Is Also About Me Wanting To Grow Up And Be Something That People Would Adore...instead I Grew Up And Became Something That People Hated.

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

I Like Kylie Minogue Sometimes - I Like A Lot Of Unusual Stuff... I Don't Know - I Like Justin Timberlake Over Lady Gaga, Just Musically.

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.

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.

Watching Movies Is My One Distraction.

Relationships Never Break Cleanly. Like A Valuable Vase, They Are Smashed And Then Glued Back Together, Smashed And Glued, Smashed And Glued Until The Pieces Just Don't Fit Together Anymore.

I Went To One Aa Meeting And I Got Asked For An Autograph.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.

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.

Art Is A Big Question Mark.

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?

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

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.

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

I'm Not A Role Model. I'm A Role Villain.

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

Being Different

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.

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.

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

Man's Greatest Fear Is Chaos.

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.

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.

My Dad Being A Salesman Taught Me You Can Sell Anybody Anything If You've Got The Ability To Believe.

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 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.

I Don't Think I Have Ever Tried To Create Things To Encourage People To Hurt Others, Or Themselves.

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.

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

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.

It's My Job To Be The Pierrot, The Clown, In The Theatrical Sense.

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.

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

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.

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