I was just reading up on the man, and came up to a few things he has said in his lifetime. So I’m putting them up here.
Bear in mind, Marilyn Manson is a very smart man. Evident by the articles he’s written and interviews he’s given.
He’s just crazy, is all. But then again, and I will testify, thinking for yourself is prone to do that to you.
I’m not even a big fan of his music. But I can’t argue with success, and logic, so here goes.
“I'm tired of people calling me a devil worshipper. It's kind of pointless you know. Because if the Devil did exist, he'd be worshipping me, because I'm more successful than he is.”
“Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way that I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed.”
“I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.”
“In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.”
“Is adult entertainment killing our children? Or is killing our children entertaining our adults?”
“Music critics get their records for free so their opinions usually don't matter.”
“Society has traditionally always tried to find scapegoats for its problems. Well, here I am.”
“We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.”
“What happens someday if more people own my record than the bible? That will make me god because a lot more people believe in me than him? Because it's just about popularity. There are plenty of people in the world who have never heard of Jesus, while America takes him for granted.”
“You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don't you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, that's the first rule I will institute.”
- Marilyn Manson
