Marilyn is real. I wake up and I am Marilyn.

I'm absolutely not looking for someone who agrees with me about everything or someone who wants to please me by believing what I believe.

Marilyn Manson is a criticism of gimmickry, while being itself a gimmick.

The person who thinks I worship the devil and kill animals is just as important as someone who makes an interpretation that's closer to what I intended.

My dream of an apocalypse that was the Antichrist Superstar has unfolded. I could see that they only looked and acted like humans, but they had lost their souls, they were Mechanical Animals

One hates what one fears.

People are very surprised to hear me say that a lot of my values are Christian values. I think that's part of my shock. I just don't like the way that Christianity combined with the influence of television has bred a nation of weakness. (Christian television do get the facts wrong sometimes and the image they portray turns most people off.)
