I don't like fun, it upsets me.

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.

One hates what one fears.

I fall in love very easily.

I don't think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves.

I walked away exhilarated by my success, because there's nothing like making a difference in someone's life, even if that difference is a lifetime of nightmares and a fortune in therapy bills.

A story might sell if there's a headline like 'Marilyn Manson admits to being Satanic', all the little hypocrites will go and buy the magazine, read about what evil, weird people we are and will feel better about themselves.
