“Everyone is so, “Marilyn Manson is so serious, so eloquent, so intelligent, because he managed to have a sentence that had more words in it than I could think of, and, you know, Bowling for Columbine.” Whatever. That’s a compliment and all, but the whole point of the name Marilyn Manson sums that up — it’s a contradiction, an odd pairing.”
No one has ever, ever said that, Marilyn. Not one person.
Tremendous, tremendous interview. Another choice quote:
“Everyone wants to know, ‘Oh, do you consider yourself a role model?’ I consider myself a role villain. A role model is a fucking mannequin. A role villain has to ruin things and break stuff and make changes. The villain has to put things in the world that cause problems and ask questions.”
Role villain! So serious! So eloquent! So intelligent!
It’s amazing that Marilyn Manson fancies himself to be the scariest man in the world, and also has to deny rumors that he’s Paul from The Wonder Years.
