If People Are Going To Hate Me,

I Can't Sleep Without The Tv On. It Doesn't Matter Where It Is. I Don't Like Silence. My Ears Ring From Loud Music.

The Idea Of Marilyn Manson Has Been Brewing In My Head, One Form Or Another, Since I Was About 12 Years Old At A Christian High School In Canton, Ohio.

Anybody Who Does Not Evolve Can Become A Self-parody. I Have To Evolve On A Daily Basis Just To Keep My Own Interest In What I Do.

My Desire Is To Be Pure Again And Not Dirtied By The World. But It's My Duty To Be As Ugly And As Filthy As I Am, So The Audience Can Experience What I Have.

I Still Get Excited Performing Live. When You See The Immediate Reaction From A Crowd, Its Like Being A Theater Performer, Its Something You Can't Get From Being A Writer Or Being An Ad Man ... Its Almost Ritualistic.
