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

I can't turn off the way I think, and that's essentially who I am, who anybody is.

It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different.

It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.

There's days when I'd love everybody to relize that things have gone too far, and we need to be born again...but there are other days when I think the world deserves to be destroyed. Why should I help anybody? Everybody's stepped on me my whole life.

When you're in a relationship, if you just break it down to regular terms, people are attracted to something, and that's what they want you to be, and that's what you should just be, and for me, it's very simple - if I meet a girl and I say, 'This is what I like about you. Just continue. Every day'

For me, the key to longevity - and immortality, in a sense - has to do with transformation.
