Sometimes I wonder if I'm a character being written, or if I'm writing myself.

I don't say things to be offensive; I say things because they're funny to me. It amuses me.

Hopefully, I'll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.

I wish that my life could be like the movies, like Bonnie and Clyde or The Hunger or Harold and Maude. And... it can be! It maybe just takes somebody else who is as fearless as you. It takes a person who will not hesitate.

When I was a kid I really didn't have my own opinions and then sort of transformed into this angel which is really Marilyn Manson and then the final stage is Antichrist Superstar which is the more nihilistic, totalitarian element in everybody's personality, that, is a real struggle on the album and in my life, between that power.

If we're bringing up kids that are so stupid that they kill themselves because of a song, what good are the kids in the first place ?

I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.
