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.
I'm not a masochist. I'm simply into trying to enjoy what I do, because otherwise there's no point.
I was always trying to do different things to entertain people. And, at the same time I think I was, whether subconsciously or not, trying to get kicked out of school because I hated it so much.
I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them, so that you're not always taking things for granted.
People alway ask me what advantages fame has started to bring; there are always plenty of free drinks, but other times people wanna put stuff into your drink to kill you off. Their gonna have to try a lot harder if they want to get me.
I'm not a believer of the "perfect world" TV tries to feed us.
If anybody wants to be a rock star they've gotta try hard enough. They're not gonna get it handed to them
My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.
These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.
I don't try to be bad as much as I just am by nature.
I was always trying to do different things to entertain people. And at the same time, I think, I was, whether subconsciously or not, trying to get kicked out of school because I hated it so much.
I speak in reality. I don't try to hide anything from anybody, and that's the most dangerous thing about our music that parents are so afraid of.
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?
