The very name 'Manson' has become a metaphor for evil... He has come to represent the dark and malignant side of humanity, and for whatever reason, there is a side of human nature that is fascinated with ultimate evil.

Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.

No matter what I do, I'll be forever known as the Manson prosecutor.

I try not to read the Internet because it's mostly just a sea of hatred.

I think the media made Manson, turned him into some larger than life figure and surrounded him with mystery and some shady glamour.

I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.

I've actually had a copilot come out of the cockpit on a trip from L.A. to New York and ask me about Charles Manson.

When I was stalking my special lady friend on MySpace, people would always say, 'Is this really Marilyn Manson or some kind of psycho?' And I'm like, 'Both.'

There are people who must spend huge amounts of time composing these online diatribes against me, all about how disgusting and terrible I am and how no one should ever read my books, and it's not enough for them to hate me, they can't stand the fact that ANYONE likes me!

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