Marilyn Manson

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

My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.

My father had a very violent temper, and he was never home. So I was kind of a mama's boy.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
