I have something that makes me happy on some level and this is a good way for me to deal with the torment of that teenage life gave me

The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.

I've always had a desire to be provocative and to make people think, but it wouldn't be any challenge for me just to be shocking. That is where it begins for me, not where it stops. And I could be much more shocking. I think I've adopted a sense of subtlety. I don't sit around wondering how I can make myself even stranger to the world. I've simply evolved into the monster I created, and I'm quite happy with it.

I've found a woman I can relate to. That's something - and I don't even feel sappy saying it - that, if anyone has that, don't lose it, because it's probably the only thing that you can ever really find any satisfaction from.

As you keep getting more popular, people are continually wanting more from you and it seems to me that all they want in the end is your death.

Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.

There's nothing that anyone could say about me that would hurt my feelings.
