There is good and evil within all of us, and I enjoy searching to bring that out through my music. I like it that there are questions brought out by my music. People must look inside themselves for the answers
A story might sell if there's a headline like 'Marilyn Manson admits to being Satanic', all the little hypocrites will go and buy the magazine, read about what evil, weird people we are and will feel better about themselves.
Good and evil go hand in hand, you can't seperate them....
Let the ugly light of the world in, we are no longer blind.
The boy that you loved is the man that you fear.
I spent hours flipping through the stations, watching Pat Robertson preach about society’s evils and then ask people to call him with their credit card number.
The balance between good and evil, and the choices we make between them, are probably the single most important aspects shaping our personalities and humanity.
I wanna die young and sell my soul, use up all your drugs and make me come.
Dear God, if you were alive, you know we'd kill you.

Those who move beyond the album's title and the most blatent aspect of what I do will then understand what I am trying to say.
We are a positive band and people aren't used to seeing the extreme negativity that we represent. I hope this record will have a positive effect on people. It's my personal study of looking at life. I came close to death and found my way back again. Our fans will understand.
What would Marilyn Manson be if no one hated Marilyn Manson?
When people say 'I want to be like you', I tell them if you want to be like me then be yourself.
