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.

Marilyn Manson is a criticism of gimmickry, while being itself a gimmick.

If you lose emotion, and you gain it back, you realise that hate and love are very important to distribute properly. So I'm not going to waste any kind of emotion on things that aren't related to me.

If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a character being written, or if I'm writing myself.

People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves that we've got sitcoms with canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is.

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.
