Quote

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.

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.

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

I like to make people think differently than they did before I walked in the room.

People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves that we've got sitcoms with canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.

Your beautiful don't let anyone tell you different

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

If Satan wasn't around, churches would go out of business.

Marilyn Manson has always been intended to confuse some, anger some and make some people feel at home. There's no way to misunderstand what I do - but everyone can understand it differently. That's the only way I've learned to embrace art - it has to be a question mark, not an answer.

If things are too perfect, people are always so afraid that it's going to change, so they ruin it themselves.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I don't care if your world is ending today because I wasn't invited to it anyway.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.

We don't like to kill our unborn we need them to grow up and fight our wars.

When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.
