It wouldn't even make you gay if you had sex with Johnny Depp, 'cause it's Johnny Depp.

I never wanted it to end this way, but flies will lay their eggs.

The aspiration to save the world is a morbid phenomenon of today's youth.

I feel like I've dreamed half of my life that hasn't happened yet, so a lot of times I'm going along, and I do stuff, and I know that I've done it. I have deja vus more than I have regular experiences. If half of your day is a deja vu, then you start to wonder, 'What is real and what isn't?'

I am a character, so that's the problem. There are many, many levels to how I behave. Some people might associate being Marilyn Manson as having lipstick on, but I don't really have some sort of other lifestyle.

It's shocking to me that it's easier to buy a gun at Wal-Mart than it is to buy my record.

That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.
