More quotes by Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
People only hate what they see in themselves.
Marilyn Manson
Find out what's really out there. I never said to be like me, I say be like you and make a difference.
Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.
Marilyn Manson
Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
The first time I performed musically, I threw up.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
I've found a woman I can relate to. That's something - and I don't even feel sappy saying it - that, if anyone has that, don't lose it, because it's probably the only thing that you can ever really find any satisfaction from.
Marilyn Manson
My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
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
Marilyn Manson
There's a lot of great stories and a lot of great values in the Holy Bible, and I actually relate to a lot of them. The character, the idea, or the part of my personality that I describe as Antichrist Superstar, is a lot like Lucifer in the Bible. Someone who was kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God
Marilyn Manson
The whole concept of this band is to present the ugly truth about society - warts and all, and let the chips fall where they may.
Marilyn Manson
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'
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
