“Kids are brought up feeling ashamed of themselves. And that, in turn, creates messed-up kids who either kill themselves or kill other people, and then society wants to blame it on rock music and television.”
— Marilyn Manson
Bill Maher:You rip pages out of The Bible in your concert. You do wipe your ass with the American flag. Some of these things you'd have to admit are controversial.
Marilyn Manson:Absolutely. They're designed to make people think. But the point with a bible or a flag is to say, it's only as valid as you make it in your heart. A piece of paper or a piece of cloth doesn't mean anything. It's what you believe. And I want people to think about what they believe. I want them to consider if everything they've been taught if that's what they want to believe or if that's what they've been told they have to believe.
