Quote

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.)

As far as the performance goes, I want to create an atmosphere, and use 5.1 sound and imagery and shape and form to transform the stage from one thing to another, as if you're watching a movie.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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
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
There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
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
I'm everything they are afraid of. Everything they hate. Everything they try to hide and a lot more. Besides, I speak my mind and show people what's out there in reality.

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.

Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Sometimes I like to get drunk and buy things on the internet, and then I wake up the next day and find 'em on my doorstep, and it's like Christmas. I get excited.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I was married to someone who wanted me to change. Become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me.
Marilyn Manson
Image
The point is that life for me is not going to be the way it is for everyone else. I have a fog machine and movie lights in my bedroom.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Dear God, if you were alive, you know we'd kill you.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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

Watching movies is my one distraction.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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.

God is just a statistics.

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

If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.

I talked to Snoop Doggy Dog today. Well I'm not sure if you could really call it talked because I could hardly understand what he was saying. But i think he was trying to communicate was that he wanted to work with me in some sort of capacity and something involving marijuana.

I hate normal studios, because you have to say hi to the person at the front desk. And then you go into the studio, and there's a second engineer in there that you don't know, and then you're stuck in a glass box with someone talking to you through a walkie-talkie.
