"Well, I think Antichrist Superstar accomplished everything I set out to have it do. It wasn't just about the album, it was also about the reaction to it and the way it made people think, whether or not they liked it or even listened to it. Everyone in America was talking about it and I think that was important to stimulate ideas. It got people arguing is this right, is this wrong? And that's what I wanted to do. I learned how seriously people take religion in America. That's why it's so important that I did what I did with that record, because I learned that people really do have a long way to go when it comes to thinking about different ideas when it comes to God. Because people were willing to react with violence and the way that they treated me proved all my points. We were trying to stand up for something that represented 'judge not and love thy neighbor,' and some people completely disregarded that. Usually the people that I'm criticizing particularly in America where people lack a sense of irony go on to prove the point. I don't dislike America. I just like to look at things and talk about things that most people are too afraid to talk about. There needs to be someone who comes along every few years and reminds people that they should evaluate what they believe in." -Manson

"Once I assumed the role as a villain, the whole thing stopped being about music. I had started out just exploring something, and pretty soon it was having this effect in politics and culture. It raised conversations in families and churches." -Manson

"I've always enjoyed being hated. The people who hate you make it all worthwhile. On my Antichrist Superstar tour, I think I upset all the right people. Even if people are angry at me, at least they're talking about Marilyn Manson, and I've succeeded." -Marilyn Manson

"I would lie if I said if it all meant nothing to me. The extreme reactions on my character didn't surprise me, but the number of people who projected their hate on me did take me by surprise. In the end I will only gain more strength. All those belief fanatics who all of a sudden think they have to exterminate evil with evil, are living with a double morality. I expose their hypocrisy and I think I have succeeded very well." -marilyn Manson

"In making Antichrist Superstar, the point was to become that ultimate villain in America. But I think it was for everyone to learn something, including myself. I think in some ways the media, the Christian right, were all part of what I created. They were elements in that record. It became a moment in history. And that all together is something I would call one big piece of performance art. Now to do it again would be senseless." -Marilyn Manson

"Well, Antichrist Superstar examined that on a lot of different levels. It even examined the herd mentality of rock 'n' roll. And I think by looking at that, it made all of us smarter. It made the fans smarter. It made me smarter. I think it gave us all the perspective to realize that christianity and rock 'n' roll are very similar in a sense, and if you can see that, you can point out your own hypocrisy. Then you can go above it and you can try and be "realer" than anything else." -Marilyn Manson

"Well, I think a lot of people, upon first hearing that, assume that to be a message of hatred, but I think it's a paradox and it's a contradiction. I think it's a very beautiful statement actually. It's very ironic. I don't think it's encouraging hate. I think if you examine it and take it apart mathematically, it's not encouraging anything. But, you know, that song "irresponsible hate anthem" that the chant introduced was a mockery of what people think of me and what people think of my fans." -Manson
