This is the culture you're raising your kids in. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face.

Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.

They'll see it. And it doesn't matter if they don't. It's only Rock 'n' Roll. But I do intend to move more into the Mainstream. Marilyn Manson is just the First phase.

[According to an official statement,] the complaints are from religious preachers who simply want publicity. Marilyn Manson isn't against God, but against organized religion, ... are just like any other heavy metal show, with kids dressed in black with painted faces. They're not dangerous.

Everything I was afraid of when I was growing up, I've become. I've taken on my nightmares, like the devil and the end of the world, and I've become those things.

I pity anybody who has to spend a day with me.
