Everything I was afraid of when I was growing up, I've become. I've taken on my nightmares, like the devil and the end of the world, and I've become those things.

More quotes by Marilyn Manson
When people ask me about drugs and alcohol, I say Yeah, I went to rehab, I went to a mental hospital, I've been to jail. The main lesson you can learn is do drugs and alcohol when you are in a good mood, not when you are in a bad mood, and find balance in anything you do.
Marilyn Manson
I heard this album as finished, I heard it in dreams . . . It was like the revelations of John the Baptist or something.
Marilyn Manson
When you grow up in America things like Christianity waters down your feeling... When you're taught to love everybody, taught to love you're enemies, what value does that put on love?
Marilyn Manson
God is just a statistics.
Marilyn Manson
The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.
Marilyn Manson
Finding someone who's willing to drown with you creates a situation where you no longer want to drown.
Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson is a criticism of gimmickry, while being itself a gimmick.
Marilyn Manson
In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.
Marilyn Manson
There was definitely a lack of any sort of villain in the Clinton era, which is why when Columbine happened, it was easy to pick on me. My face was around and it made good TV.
Marilyn Manson
Donohue: It is Christianity that [Manson] hates, and it is Catholicism that he hates most of all. This guy is at war with Christ. Manson: I can't possibly be at war with Christ, because your religion killed him and what he stood for. But if you want to be at war with me, bring it on.
Marilyn Manson
I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.
Marilyn Manson
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.
Marilyn Manson
It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.
Marilyn Manson
He's just simply John5 because he's the fifth person that we've hired. In the future, everyone will have numbers instead of names
Marilyn Manson
It's my job to be the Pierrot, the clown, in the theatrical sense.
Marilyn Manson
I just don't like when there's a rumor that says I'm dating someone who is below my standards. But when I got divorced, my ex-wife said I was spending all my time with Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie. I was like, 'Thank you for the big ups!'
Marilyn Manson
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.
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.
Marilyn Manson
Find what you are afraid of, face it, and then you won't be afraid of it anymore.
Marilyn Manson
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.)
