“One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.” WayFirstsShowsMinesMaterialsHappeningsFirst TimeNew ThingsSpontaneous Author:Bebe Neuwirth
“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

“Whether we consider Nazi Germany or Abu Ghraib prison, there were many people who observed what was happening and said nothing. At Abu Ghraib, one photo shows two soldiers smiling before a pyramid of naked prisoners while a dozen other soldiers stand around watching passively. If you observe such abuses and don't say, "This is wrong! Stop it!" you give tacit approval to continue.
