Marilyn Manson

“I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.”

“Man's greatest fear is chaos.”

“For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.”

“If Satan wasn't around, churches would go out of business.”

“I just don't like when there's a rumor that says I'm dating someone who is below my standards. But when I got divorced, my ex-wife said I was spending all my time with Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie. I was like, 'Thank you for the big ups!'”

“I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.”

“When I turned about 14, I developed a friendship with this guy whose mom was the secretary to Ernest Angley, the faith healer, who's very popular in the Midwest. He had a television show, and he was sort of like Liberace mixed with Jerry Falwell - very glitzy, very high-tech.”

“When you want to die, you at least have a goal. You're aiming for something. It's not a good goal, but at least you want something. And you've got anger and fear, but at least you're feeling something.”

“I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music, especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.”

“When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.”

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

“My dad being a salesman taught me you can sell anybody anything if you've got the ability to believe.”
