I'm a confession that is waiting to be heard - Marilyn Manson

I’ve always been paranoid about the police, because even when I’m not doing anything illegal I’m thinking about doing something illegal.

"The seeds of who I am now had been planted. "Fools aren't born," I wrote in my notebook one day during ethics class. "They are watered and grown like weeds by institutions such as Christianity.""

… 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. And now that I have one, the fact that they are giving me such resistance and publicity, they have made me far bigger than they'd ever have wanted me to have become. So I guess in a strange way the Christians have influenced me the most.
