I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.
Marilyn MansonSometimes you feel awkward being what you're best at, you feel like you have to be something new.
Marilyn MansonI'd seen the Led Zeppelin reunion and I've never been such a huge Led Zeppelin fan as much as the Doors or Beatles. I went and saw the reunion and watching them play "Stairway to Heaven," it was very breathtaking for one reason mostly. I can imagine these two guys looking at each other, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Not to compare us to Led Zeppelin, but I did miss the fact that I could look over at the guy, Twiggy Ramirez, that wrote "The Beautiful People" and "Dope Show." Emotionally, it's taken a long time to repair that.
Marilyn MansonNothing's gonna change the world, nothing's gonna change the world. There was Lennon and a happy gun, there were words on the pavement.
