You have to be saved to get into heaven....you only have to be you to get into hell.

I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them, so that you're not always taking things for granted.

Better pray for hell, not hallelujah.

I have something that makes me happy on some level and this is a good way for me to deal with the torment of that teenage life gave me

Marilyn Manson has always been intended to confuse some, anger some and make some people feel at home. There's no way to misunderstand what I do - but everyone can understand it differently. That's the only way I've learned to embrace art - it has to be a question mark, not an answer.

I was a pizza-delivery boy at the Pizza Oven in Canton. I wanted to get fired so bad, I actually wrecked the delivery car, but they wouldn't fire me. I was the only person they had working there.

I can't sleep without the TV on. It doesn't matter where it is. I don't like silence. My ears ring from loud music.
