More quotes by Marilyn Manson

I think people have always misinterpreted my self-destructive nature as nihilistic, because if you don't care about the world, you can't create art. I am misanthropic and self-loathing, but never nihilistic. And I think I act far worse off-stage than onstage.

Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our necks, and we have just taken that for granted all of our lives.

I think guilt is the biggest problem in America, people are always feeling guilty about being themselves. You can't say what you want because it's not politically correct. You can't look like you want because you, the people at the office aren't going to like you and so on.

Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

Music is the strongest form of magic.
Marilyn Manson

This isn't a mob, won't need to change the names. Everyone around you has murdered someone, something sacred. There isn't one nail without dirt under it. There isn't any white cotton panties that aren't soaked and stained red. It's better to push something when it's slipping, than to risk being dragged down.

Hopefully, I'll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.
Marilyn Manson

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.

It's really important for me to get across to our fans that whenever I put myself in different circumstances. It is to learn from it so I can relay it to others.

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

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.

A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself.

If someone listens to our music, and it makes them creative, that makes me happier than anything.
