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.

If Satan wasn't around, churches would go out of business.

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

Enjoy your faults, that's what separates you from the rest of the world.

It's not like I turn off Marilyn Manson and I'm an everyday guy who goes and has another job and doesn't think about any of this stuff. Marilyn Manson is the most real thing that can come from me.

I'm someone who is open-minded to new experiences because they teach you new things.

I am the pedophiles dream, a messianic Peter Pan.
