Quote

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.

More quotes by Marilyn Manson

Image
Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I am a character, so that's the problem. There are many, many levels to how I behave. Some people might associate being Marilyn Manson as having lipstick on, but I don't really have some sort of other lifestyle.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned fascism will take it away.
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.)

Marilyn is real. I wake up and I am Marilyn.

Everything is acting.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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
Image
If I think I weigh too much, I'll lose weight if my hair looks stupid, I'll cut it. I guess I'm my harshest critic. I'm not easily satisfied.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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'.
Marilyn Manson
Image
When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I've never written songs about relationships. I've written songs about how I feel. The songs are more about me, than another person. That's the way I like to look at it.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I was never afriad of what was under the bed. I wanted it but never got it. I became it.
Marilyn Manson
Image
If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I can't sleep without the TV on. It doesn't matter where it is. I don't like silence. My ears ring from loud music.
Marilyn Manson
Image
To me, anything that is a church is really just far too close minded.
Marilyn Manson
Image
My first dissatisfaction has always been with religion.
