These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.

People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves that we've got sitcoms with canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is.

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.

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

I pity anybody who has to spend a day with me.

It's not like I turn off Marilyn Manson and I'm an everyday guy who goes and has another job and doesn't think about any of this stuff. Marilyn Manson is the most real thing that can come from me.

I can't go to sleep at night if I didn't accomplish at least something. That's the one thing that keeps me up.
