Quote

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.

I think people have to take responsibility for their own actions.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.

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.

If your reality is the same as my reality, then you're in trouble.
Marilyn Manson
Image
There's days when I'd love everybody to relize that things have gone too far, and we need to be born again...but there are other days when I think the world deserves to be destroyed. Why should I help anybody? Everybody's stepped on me my whole life.

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

There's nothing that anyone could say about me that would hurt my feelings.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I don't think we should ever regret anything we do. I think we have to accept the consequences and you learn from your mistakes, and that's how you grow as a person
Marilyn Manson
Image
I believe in dreams. I believe that every night on the planet everything that is, was and can be is dreamt. I believe that what happens in dreams is no different no less important than what happens in the waking world. I believe that dreams are the closest equvalent present-day mankind has to trime travel.

Finding someone who's willing to drown with you creates a situation where you no longer want to drown.
Marilyn Manson

I did vote Obama. But I've never believed in the authenticity of the two-party system.
Marilyn Manson
Image
I pity anybody who has to spend a day with me.
Marilyn Manson
Image
The whole concept of this band is to present the ugly truth about society - warts and all, and let the chips fall where they may.
Marilyn Manson
Image
It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Someday, when I manage to finally figure out how to take care of myself, then I'll consider taking care of someone else.
Marilyn Manson
Image
If what you do is being threatened as a profession, that could be scary. But that's the same reason why I walked out on stage many times after receiving death threats. I couldn't live without doing what I wanted to do. So at the same time I have to be willing to die for it.

The idea of Marilyn Manson has been brewing in my head, one form or another, since I was about 12 years old at a Christian high school in Canton, Ohio.

You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don’t you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, that’s the first rule I will institute.

In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.

I can't go to sleep at night if I didn't accomplish at least something. That's the one thing that keeps me up.
