The Genius Of Art Finds

If They Think That An Artist Can Destroy Their Faith, Then Their Faith Is Rather Fragile.

Marilyn Manson Has Always Been Intended To Confuse Some, Anger Some And Make Some People Feel At Home. There's No Way To Misunderstand What I Do - But Everyone Can Understand It Differently. That's The Only Way I've Learned To Embrace Art - It Has To Be A Question Mark, Not An Answer.

I Think People Have Always Misinterpreted My Self-destructive Nature As Nihilistic, Because If You Don't Care About The World, You Can't Create Art. I Am Misanthropic And Self-loathing, But Never Nihilistic. And I Think I Act Far Worse Off-stage Than Onstage.

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.

Art Gives People A Reason To Be Alive.
