“I'm a controversial artist, one who dares to have an opinion and bothers to create music and videos that challenge people's ideas in a world that is watered-down and hollow. In my work I examine the America we live in, and I've always tried to show people that the devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us. So don't expect the end of the world to come one day out of the blue – it's been happening every day for a long time.” PeopleWorldLongIdeasEndsShowsAmericaArtistChallengesOpinionOne DayLong TimeHappeningsDevilDown AndBlueBlameDareVideoBotherEnd Of The WorldHollowControversialAtrocities Author:Marilyn Manson

“The only way the devil really exists in my opinion... is in interactions with people who don't walk the walk and talk the talk; people who act one way, or talk one way and then do another. Those are the deals with the devil. I don't see the devil as somebody who is a horned, goateed guy with a fork in his hand that's there to continuously stab me and send my soul to hell. I don't see it that way at all.” PeopleWaySoulHandsGuyWalksDealsOpinionHellDevilMy SoulOne WayInteractionForksDeals With The Devil Author:Nicolas Cage
