Image
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.
Marilyn Manson
Image
The most genius ideas are in the minds of children and lunatics. I describe myself as somewhere in between.
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 imagination is precious. Don't lose it. Don't lose the child in you.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs - Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It's kind of a secret. People say to us, 'Why did you get that?' And we say, 'No reason.'
Marilyn Manson

What nearly everybody in my life had misunderstood about Satanism was that it is not about ritual sacrifices, digging up graves and worshipping the devil. The devil doesn't exist. Satanism is about worshipping yourself, because you are responsible for your own good and evil.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Art, to me, is a question. It should never be an answer.
Marilyn Manson
Image
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
Image
The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.
Marilyn Manson
Image
People drink to numb the pain and suffering. 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
Image
If things are too perfect, people are always so afraid that it's going to change, so they ruin it themselves.
Marilyn Manson
Image
If Satan wasn't around, churches would go out of business.
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
For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.
Marilyn Manson

If people are going to hate me, I want them to hate me for the right reasons

I spent hours flipping through the stations, watching Pat Robertson preach about society’s evils and then ask people to call him with their credit card number.

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
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

I eat innocent meat, the house wife I will beat, the prolife I will kill. What you won't do, I will.
