Apart from a very close circle of friends, few people know my true self, and it's normal, I never put it into my music.

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

Music is the strongest form of magic.

One hates what one fears.

There's no reason to change what you are, but if you're not being you, then you need to acknowledge that.

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.

Anyone who thinks they're happy should really see a doctor, because there is no reason to be happy.
