If everyone can make music. Make better music.
I was married to someone who wanted me to change. Become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me.
I think that's all a form of wanting to let go, of wanting to get out... It's not something easily described or understood.
This isn't a mob, won't need to change the names. Everyone around you has murdered someone, something sacred. There isn't one nail without dirt under it. There isn't any white cotton panties that aren't soaked and stained red. It's better to push something when it's slipping, than to risk being dragged down.
Do not seek death, seek destruction.

That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.
When people say 'I want to be like you', I tell them if you want to be like me, then be yourself.
It's not like I turn off Marilyn Manson and I'm an everyday guy who goes and has another job and doesn't think about any of this stuff. Marilyn Manson is the most real thing that can come from me.
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers
My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic, but my mother, I believe, was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.
People expect me to me a 'shock rocker,' but there's nothing you can do anymore to be shocking.
