Marilyn Manson
It happens every millennium. Now more than ever, man threatens to destroy himself with his own technology, and all the ideas contained within Big Brother exist within Little Brother. We're all watching ourselves. We are our own oppressors. This is a time when an idea like God is needed more than ever. For me, I've found that God exists within yourself and what you create. The only thing we've got to look forward to is saving ourselvesCollection: Brother
The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.Collection: World
I've never been a suicidal person. I've never been someone to want to see the world come to an end. But I would like to see something different than what I'm seeing. Because it is becoming a monotonous - as if you're watching re-runs of things you've already seen.Collection: Running
I don't like fun, it upsets me.Collection: Fun
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.Collection: Jail
So anybody with any bit of intelligence has got to be pissed off because if they see how things are in the world they're not going to be happy with it.Collection: Pissed Off
I think there's a danger with any great art, that if you begin to test your ideas on other people, and get their opinions before making decisions, or if you pay too much attention to what other people say about what you create, that it really pollutes your expression. I think that I'm much more about pure art and honesty and expressing exactly what I feel, and not caring so much what anyone says. However, I do respect, and I do pay attention to everyone's comments. And I do take them into consideration. But I don't base my decisions by itCollection: Art
I dare you all to write one more thing that you won't say to my face. Because I will make you say it. In that manner. That is a threat.Collection: Writing
Let's just kill everyone and let God sort them out.Collection: Letting Go
We are the things and shapes to come, your freedom's not free of dumb.Collection: Dumb
Image and music always works together for me. I think they're equally important and I've always done things in a way that people remember them by, but I don't set out to just shock people...because that's very easy, a lot of people could do that, I just like to do things the way that makes me happy really. And sometimes that's too much for certain people, but, you know, I try to push the envelope to make the boundaries wider as far as what you can and can't do in music.Collection: Thinking
When I was stalking my special lady friend on MySpace, people would always say, 'Is this really Marilyn Manson or some kind of psycho?' And I'm like, 'Both'Collection: People
I've always had a desire to be provocative and to make people think, but it wouldn't be any challenge for me just to be shocking. That is where it begins for me, not where it stops. And I could be much more shocking. I think I've adopted a sense of subtlety. I don't sit around wondering how I can make myself even stranger to the world. I've simply evolved into the monster I created, and I'm quite happy with it.Collection: Thinking
I'm not a believer of the "perfect world" TV tries to feed us.Collection: Perfect
Films and things like that are really my first love and, so when we get to make videos it's just as important as the song. To me it's not a commercial, for me it's a whole work of art on it's own so, we plan on working on a movie and things like that in the future so.Collection: Song
I do have a lot of sexual imagery in my performance. But I don't think it's ever encouraging anyone to have sex. I think I just show my own sexuality, but I don't think I've ever really written about having sex or anything like that.Collection: Sex
If God does exist, it's in music and in art, I think there's more spiritually in what I do than in a lot of religious groups judging, especially in the way they've treated me in the past couple of years. I've grown tired of talking about religion. It's time for me to move on. I'm trying to redefine the idea of spirituality and make it now such a bad word for myself, because I find that I sound really stupid saying it sometimesCollection: Religious
It says right here you've got to be saved to go to heaven. But the way I see it, you've only got to be yourself to go to hell.Collection: Being Yourself
Hopefully, I'll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.Collection: Satanic
There are definitely Dark Forces out there that none of us fully understand. People fear what they don't understand, and lash out against itCollection: Dark
There's a lot of talk in some of the other versions of the Bible, the Hebrew versions, and things about the end of the world not being a punishment from God, but being an invitation from mankind. That mankind has to invite its own destruction. And I think that's very true, and it's almost very American. I think that's the type of society we're in and it's people's very fear of the Antichrist that has created itCollection: Thinking
The record is about seeing death and growing from it, and in the end, being strong and being alive.Collection: Strong
My desire is to be pure again and not dirtied by the world. But it's my duty to be as ugly and as filthy as I am, so the audience can experience what I have.Collection: Desire
I never wanted it to end this way, but flies will lay their eggs.Collection: Eggs
People alway ask me what advantages fame has started to bring; there are always plenty of free drinks, but other times people wanna put stuff into your drink to kill you off. Their gonna have to try a lot harder if they want to get me.Collection: People
One hates what one fears.Collection: Atheist
Why should we believe in a god, that doesnt believe in us?Collection: Atheist
