I remember growing up, saying you’re an artist it sounds pretentious but now it’s one of the only dignified things that you can call yourself.

More quotes by Marilyn Manson

Image
Apart from a very close circle of friends, few people know my true self, and it's normal, I never put it into my music.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
People tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson

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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.)

Finding someone who's willing to drown with you creates a situation where you no longer want to drown.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson

If everyone can make music. Make better music.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I'm not a believer of the perfect world TV tries to feed us.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Actors always want to be musicians, and musicians want to be actors
Marilyn Manson
Image
It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Marilyn is real. I wake up and I am Marilyn.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Good and evil go hand in hand, you can't seperate them.
Marilyn Manson
Image
These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I refuse to say things behind people's backs.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

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.
