1. A lot of people don't want to make their own decisions. They're too scared. It's much easier to be told what to do. 2. Marilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.
3. I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
5. We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
7. Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I'm afraid that they're going to leave.
8. When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
10. Find out what's really out there. I never said to be like me, I say be like you and make a difference.
11. People tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity.
13. In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.
15. I don't want to feel like I've matured. That's a stupid word that I never want to use.
16. This is the culture you're raising your kids in. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face.
18. I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.
19. Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called "Antichrist Superstar."
21. 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.
23. Leave me in a room with some crayons and I'll draw on the wall.
24. Marriage changes everything.
25. My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
27. The word "Antichrist", to me, is the collective disbelief in god.
28. I fall in love very easily.
29. They'll see it. And it doesn't matter if they don't. It's only Rock 'n' Roll. But I do intend to move more into the Mainstream. Marilyn Manson is just the First phase.
31. I'm my most creative between 3 and 5 a.m. That's the way I've always been.
32. I'm kind of shy, and I think that I take that out by performing in front of a lot of people. That's how I get out my shyness.
33. If one more "journalist" makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally or with my fans' help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.
35. In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.
37. There's a certain group of people who are always going to dislike me and disagree with whatever I say.
39. Are people raised to be villains or vilified like I have become?
40. Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.
41. As a kid I just felt like an outsider.
42. Everything is acting.
44. 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.
46. I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.
47. I went to one AA meeting and I got asked for an autograph.
49. I used to have nightmares about the Antichrist - what would happen, where it would come from, and who it would be.
50. I'm not going to be some kind of PC, tree-hugger.
52. I've found a woman I can relate to. That's something - and I don't even feel sappy saying it - that, if anyone has that, don't lose it, because it's probably the only thing that you can ever really find any satisfaction from.
54. Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.
55. 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.
57. My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.
58. Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.
60. Sometimes you feel awkward being what you're best at, you feel like you have to be something new.
62. 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.
64. Things have become devalued to the point where people don't realize the repercussions, that they're devaluing themselves. It could end up bringing about chaos, a lawless situation.
66. To admit you want to have a comeback means you have to admit you weren't what you were supposed to be. You dropped below your own standard.
67. Ultimately, because I'm an artist, I can't ever consider myself a nihilist, so I suppose I'm optimistic.
69. I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
72. I view my job as being someone who is supposed to piss people off. I don't want to be just one-of-the-guys. I don't want to be just a smiling face you see on television presenting some vapid kind of easily-digestible garbage.
73. What happens someday if more people own my record than the bible? That will make me god because a lot more people believe in me than him? Because it's just about popularity. There are plenty of people in the world now who have never heard of Jesus, while America takes him for granted. The key is to change what is popular. That's why rather than submit to the mainstream, you have to become it - then overcome it.
76. The fact that nobody liked me at school began to fade out of my mind like blue magic marker reminders scrawled on the back of a greasy fist.
77. It's the whole Nietzche philosophy of you are your own God. That's why I debase myself in the concerts and tell people to spit on me. I'm saying to them "You are no different from me".

87. You wanted perfect, you got your perfect; but now I’m too perfect for someone like you.
88. I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.
89. You have to take responsibility, you reap what you sew, and you have to clean up after yourself. I'm sick of people always trying to blame movies, bands, songs, or talk shows, for whatever, teen suicides, drug overdoses, everything else. If someone's stupid enough to kill themselves over a song, then that's exactly what they deserve. They weren't contributing anything to society. It's one less f-ing idiot in the world. There's too many people, if more people killed themselves over music, it wouldn't disappoint me, it would disappoint me in that it's said that people are that stupid.
91. When will you realize you're already there? So watered down - your feelings have turned to mud.
92. The only ones left standing are the ones not demanding.
93. ADD TRD violent shining hate crime. Total requested dead. It's version pointless downloadable suicide.
95. This isn't a show, this is my f-cking life. I'm not ashamed, you're entertained. But I'm not a puppet, I am a grenade.
96. They love you when you're on the cover. When you're not, they love another.
97. Well everybody keeps coming up to me and saying: "Oh urm, I didn't know you were so intelligent." And well I say: "I didn't know you were so stupid, but…
99. I've always been paranoid about the police, because even when I'm not doing anything illegal, I'm thinking about doing something illegal. So, whenever I'm around a cop, I get uncomfortable and nervous, worried that I'll say the wrong thing or look so guilty they'll arrest me anyway. Being completely out of my mind on drugs doesn't help the situation any.
101. (on the Columbine High School massacre) I wouldn't say a single word to them, I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did.
104. (on meeting Justin Timberlake and his mother Lynn) I met Justin Timberlake and I liked him. I met his mother too. He brings her on tour with him, I guess as some sort of prop. When we met I had just watched this sex documentary, unfortunately for his mother, and the first thing I said to her was: "Did you know that a woman has three holes between their legs?" She was fascinated.
106. You have to be around people that are interested in having strange times. That doesn't always have to be depraved sex orgies, of course - it can be conservative sex orgies.
109. Music critics get their records for free so their opinions usually don't matter.
111. I'm thankful that I have two middle fingers…I only wish I had more.
112. I've always had the same level of excitement about making music, but now it seems so much more important because all of the blame that was put on me for Columbine. The entire incident, the way the media reacted, the people who were involved, the way I was treated, it hurt me personally because my career is my life. It made me feel a lot like how I felt growing up because it was a lot of people beating you down and treating you a certain way for something you're not even responsible for. I just really had to re-evaluate what I was gonna do; How am I gonna respond to this, how am I gonna take this? And I wanted to come out swinging with both fists.
114. It is a great feeling to write a song, but to be able to perform it, it takes on a whole different light.
115. I'm not saying that when I perform I'm Barry Manilow, but I'm also not killing kids and beating up dogs and things like that.
117. I'm tired of people calling me a devil worshipper. It's kind of pointless you know. Because if the Devil did exist, he'd be worshipping me, because I'm more successful than he is.
118. Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised.
120. The ability to make small children cry at the grocery store I like better than the fame.
