Multiply your death, divide by sex, add up your violence, what do you get?

I pity anybody who has to spend a day with me.

It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different.

Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.

I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.

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.

A story might sell if there's a headline like 'Marilyn Manson admits to being Satanic', all the little hypocrites will go and buy the magazine, read about what evil, weird people we are and will feel better about themselves.
