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

We are our own wicked gods with little 'g's' and big dicks, sadistic and constantly inflicting a slow demise.

Everything is acting.

As a kid I was, constantly terrorized with the idea of Armageddon and the Antichrist and things like that and as I got older, I realized that, something like Antichrist is the collective disbelief in God.

I believe a lot about psychology, or I'd like to learn about it - I'm someone who likes to learn about everything.

I didn't go to guitar school and I don't know how to play chords, but I can do it in my own way and I think sometimes that will piss off some guitar players who sit around playing their stuff all day long and then there are people who like that.

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