As a kid I had buck teeth and braces and acne. I hated what I saw. I'm still not comfortable, but that's why I change and adapt the way I look.

I always had the desire to entertain people, whether it was to make 'em laugh or to scare 'em or stir things up just to cause problems.

The time that people aren't expecting what's going to happen, I find that's the best time to really cause the damage that needs to be done.

The difference between me as Brian Warner or Marilyn Manson is just words. Same personality, sensibility, sense of humor, behavior. He is me.

I think guilt is the biggest problem in America, people are always feeling guilty about being themselves. You can't say what you want because it's not politically correct. You can't look like you want because you, the people at the office aren't going to like you and so on.

If i believed in an outside force that we wanted to call God - and i believe that there is one. i think God would appreciate what i say, because i can't see God wanting to create a world full of idiots

The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.
