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.

I wasn't born with enough middle fingers

It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.
Marilyn Manson

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.

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?

Art is a big question mark.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.

For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.
Marilyn Manson

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.

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.

What doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar.
Marilyn Manson

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.

The boy that you loved is the man that you fear.

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.

Art, to me, is a question. It should never be an answer.

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.

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.

It's the whole Nietzche philosophy of you are your own God. That's why I debase myself in the concerts and tell people to spit on me. I'm saying to them 'You are no different from me'.

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 never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person.
