“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, that’s the first rule I will institute.”

Marilyn Manson

“… I don't expect everyone to get something deep out of it. Some people can just listen to the music, or get their aggressions out, but I think with any great painting or movie, album or whatever it is, it's better if people can take what they need from it. That they're not forced to get some particular message.”

Marilyn Manson

As quoted in "Headbanger's Ball" (10 December 1996), MTV Europe.
1990s

“… if I hadn't gone to a private Christian school, I'd never have built up enough animosity to want to have started a band.

So I guess in a strange way the Christians have influenced me the most.”
