We will no longer be oppressed by the fascism called Christianity. We will no longer be oppressed by the mentality of the police state.

I am a character, so that's the problem. There are many, many levels to how I behave. Some people might associate being Marilyn Manson as having lipstick on, but I don't really have some sort of other lifestyle.

I speak in reality. I don't try to hide anything from anybody, and that's the most dangerous thing about our music that parents are so afraid of.

I'm not a role model. I'm a role villain.

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

I like to be unhinged; I like to be unpredictable. I like to make people worry that worse things can happen whenever I go out to a restaurant or act in a movie.

If I were in a room full of people, I'd rather be the person who is more interesting than the one who is wallpaper.
