I hate normal studios, because you have to say "hi" to the person at the front desk. And then you go into the studio, and there's a second engineer in there that you don't know, and then you're stuck in a glass box with someone talking to you through a walkie-talkie.

I've always believed that a person is smart. It's people that are stupid.

My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.

I don't want to have a gravestone. I want to have all my friends burn me and then snort the ashes. I think that's the only way to go out.

I don't like fun, it upsets me.

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

There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
