Marilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.

From Marilyn Manson

The point is that life for me is not going to be the way it is for everyone else. I have a fog machine and movie lights in my bedroom.

From Marilyn Manson

I care about the people I know and love the most, but I also care about what the people I don't know think in the sense that I want them to think and understand me in a certain way. I don't base my life around either one, and I don't change the way I live to please either set of people, but I do care.

From Marilyn Manson

Don't ever empty the bucket of mystery. Never let people define what you do. It's not about zigging when you should zag. It's not about doing something unprecedented and unpredictable. It's just about never being a word, or something that is not in the process of transformation.

From Marilyn Manson

There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.

From Marilyn Manson

My first dissatisfaction has always been with religion.

From Marilyn Manson

I believe that you are not stuck with a pre-destiny. I believe that there is ways to see all these things that are laid down in front of you and where you belong and to smack yourself in the face when you realize that you've strayed off your path and get back to where your path is.

From Marilyn Manson

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

From Marilyn Manson

Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised.

From Marilyn Manson

If a kid is old enough to drive a car or buy a gun, isn't he old enough to be held personally responsible for what he does with his car or gun? Or if he's a teenager, should someone else be blamed because he isn't as enlightened as an eighteen-year-old?
