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

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

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.

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

Watching movies is my one distraction.

Man's greatest fear is chaos.

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

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.

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.

Music is the strongest form of magic.
