If you want to be like Marilyn Manson, be yourself

Some people see it rather strange when they offer me a cigarette and I refuse because I simply hate it, or when they see the way I dress up from time to time when they have in their mind that I'm a Marilyn Manson fan. They say," but Marilyn Manson takes drugs and does this and wears that". Well, my answer to that is, " I'm not a wanna be and prefer to be myself. Not wearing like Marilyn Manson or doing what he does, does not mean I don't like him. I love Marilyn Manson for who he is, for the way he thinks and for his beliefs. Reason I said that is because, I've been getting e-mails asking me why this why that. I hope that helps.
What I said doesn't mean I'm saying that Marilyn Manson is a wanna be... Don't get me wrong Please

Some of Marilyn Manson's Drawings

● Thinking for yourself - that's scarier than any devil image.

● Most people just hear what they want to hear and it makes it easy for them to brand us devil worshippers.

● 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. This is rock and roll. I want to be a rock and roll star! Rock and roll is about shaking things up, making people act and react. That's what I do.

● It's when you take away things that kids enjoy is when you cause problems for them, you know, people always think that heavy metal, or rock and roll has always been the source of the problem, but it's when you start to deprive them of that, it's when they start to get bitter.

● "I think all of these people complaining about what I do and saying I'm such a bad person for making these records. I think it's exactly what they've wanted all along because that bad guy gives them the ability to make themselves the good guys and it's really justifies their existence. It's their fear and disbelief in themselves that's created something like this. There are a lot of people who would underestimate the way I think and say to me, 'don't you think by people listening to what you're saying, you'll have people following you and creating the same problems as other religions do?'
