Marilyn Manson

Marilyn: (on girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood) I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn.

Marilyn: I spent Y2K New Year's Eve drinking absinthe with Johnny Depp in France. We were ready for the apocalypse and when it didn't come we were very disappointed. So we drank more absinthe and set off fireworks. Since then, I don't drink absinthe, or drink booze.

Marilyn: (embroiled in a custody battle with Dita Von Teese over their collection of dead pets) I have four taxidermied baboons, two monkeys, a white peacock, a turtle and a wild boar. I went through a dramatic lifestyle change with my home after the break-up. I left it. When you get separated, you lose so much. I don't know what she'll say when I ask for them back.

Marilyn: (on meeting Justin Timberlake and his mother Lynn) I met Justin Timberlake and I liked him. I met his mother too. He brings her on tour with him, I guess as some sort of prop. When we met I had just watched this sex documentary, unfortunately for his mother, and the first thing I said to her was 'Did you know that a woman has three holes between their legs?' She was fascinated.

Marilyn: I say no to drugs, but they don't listen.

Marilyn: You have to be around people that are interested in having strange times. That doesn't always have to be depraved sex orgies, of course - it can be conservative sex orgies.

Marilyn: I talked to Snoop doggy dogg today. Well I'm not sure if you could really call it talked because I could hardly understand what he was saying. But I think what he was trying to communicate was that he wanted to work with me in some sort of capacity and something involving marijuana.

Marilyn: In the end we're all Jerry Springer Show guests, really, we just haven't been on the show.

Marilyn: (addressing rumours he had ribs removed) If I really got my ribs removed, I would have been busy sucking my own d*ck on the wonder years instead of chasing Winnie Cooper. Besides, I wouldn't have sucked other people's d*cks on stage, either. I would have been sucking my own. Plus, who really has time to be killing puppies when you can be sucking your own d*ck? I think I'm gonna call the surgeon in the morning.

Marilyn: I view my job as being someone who is supposed to piss people off. I don't want to be just one-of-the-guys. I don't want to be just a smiling face you see on television presenting some vapid kind of easily-digestible garbage.

Marilyn: Anybody intelligent enough to realize what America is, is not going to sit around and do nothing about it. They're going to be the same way that I am. They're going to be the same way our fans are. They're going to be pissed.

Marilyn: You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don't you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, thats the first rule I will institute.

Marilyn: I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
