I Don't Expect Everyone To Get Something Deep Out Of It.

That They're Not Forced To Get Some Particular Message.

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.

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.

(christian Television Do Get The Facts Wrong Sometimes And The Image They Portray Turns Most People Off.)

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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...

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.

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

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 Am The Ism, My Hate's A Prism.

Marilyn Manson Is Simply Too Dangerous For Darien Lake.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Marilyn Manson Is A Mockery Of American Pop Culture.

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.

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

School Shooting

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.

Your Beautiful Don't Let Anyone Tell You Different

The Most That I Can Learn Is In Records That You Burn.

God Is Just A Statistics.

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

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

I Heard This Album As Finished, I Heard It In Dreams . . . It Was Like The Revelations Of John The Baptist Or Something.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?'

When I Was Stalking My Special Lady Friend On Myspace, People Would Always Say, 'is This Really Marilyn Manson Or Some Kind Of Psycho?' And I'm Like, 'both'

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

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

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

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.

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

He's Just Simply John5 Because He's The Fifth Person That We've Hired. In The Future, Everyone Will Have Numbers Instead Of Names

My Fans Make Me Feel As Young As They Are. We Share The Same Spirit And I Share Their Outlook On Life

Outlook On Life

As A Kid I Just Felt Like An Outsider.

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

I Think Art Is The Only Thing That's Spiritual In The World. And I Refuse To Forced To Believe In Other People's Interpretations Of God. I Don't Think Anybody Should Be. No One Person Can Own The Copyright To What God Means.

I Think People Have To Take Responsibility For Their Own Actions.

People Alway Ask Me What Advantages Fame Has Started To Bring; There Are Always Plenty Of Free Drinks, But Other Times People Wanna Put Stuff Into Your Drink To Kill You Off. Their Gonna Have To Try A Lot Harder If They Want To Get Me.

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.

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

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

Nowhere In The Gospels Is Intelligence Praised As A Virtue.

Positive Atheism

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.

Rock N Roll Is About Drugs.

I Did Vote Obama. But I've Never Believed In The Authenticity Of The Two-party System.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

When I Was A Kid I Think The Thing I Remembered Most About The Exorcist Was Linda Blair Being Possessed By The Devil, And How Scary That Was. It Had A Lot Of Parallels For Me Because The Movie Was Challenging Different Ideas About Faith And It Was Looking At Religion In A Darker Way. Growing Up I Was Afraid Of Being Possessed By The Devil, As An Adult I'm Afraid Of Being Possessed By The World, By Ignorance, And Not Holding On To My Beliefs And What I Feel Strongly About.

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

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

The Person Who Thinks I Worship The Devil And Kill Animals Is Just As Important As Someone Who Makes An Interpretation That's Closer To What I Intended.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 Have Something That Makes Me Happy On Some Level And This Is A Good Way For Me To Deal With The Torment Of That Teenage Life Gave Me

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.

Black Eyeliner. It’s Standard. It’s All You Need. It Just Makes The World A Better Place.

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

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.

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've Known Johnny Depp Since I Was 19.

The Internet Is The Trailer Park For The Soul.

I Pity Anybody Who Has To Spend A Day With Me.

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

Falling In Love

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

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

Being Different

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

I Just Don't Like When There's A Rumor That Says I'm Dating Someone Who Is Below My Standards. But When I Got Divorced, My Ex-wife Said I Was Spending All My Time With Lindsay Lohan And Angelina Jolie. I Was Like, 'thank You For The Big Ups!'

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

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

Drugs And Alcohol

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.

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 Have Mood Poisoning. Must Be Something I Hate.

I Read All The Great Philosophers But Most People Just Hear What They Want To Hear And It Makes It Easy For Them To Brand Us Devil Worshippers.

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

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.

To Me, Satan Ultimately Represents Rebellion.

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.

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 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.

I Think Confidence Is The Most Appealing Quality In Any Human Being Or Any Artist; That's What Really Attracts Us To People.

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

Anyone Who Thinks They're Happy Should Really See A Doctor, Because There Is No Reason To Be Happy.

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'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.

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.

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've Seen My Own Death In Dreams Like This And It's Helped Me Appreciate Life More. I've Also Seen My Own Life In Dreams And It's Helped Me Appreciate Death More.

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.
