Excerpts from Manson Interview:

11. If you're wondering why 20,000 Americans are being killed every year, it's because the District Attorneys are selling your blood to feed their fear machine.

12. Yeah, I chopped up 9 hogs. And I'm going to chop up some more of you motherfuckers. I'm going to kill as many of you as I can. I'm going to pile your bodies up to the sky.

13. They need convictions. They need criminals. They need people to lock up in cages. If they didn't have people to lock up in cages, they wouldn't be able to sell more fear to the public.

14. Society, the reflections of a child, makes the knifer knife and the shooter shoot. The murderer is only doing what society raised them up to do.

15. People are scared and they use me as an excuse. They're afraid of what they don't understand and what they don't know. If you're afraid of my bloody hands, forget it, because I'm working on my problems. I've got my own world to deal with.

16. You know, it's like. . . I'm street. I'm all the way street. I live in jail. Like a lot of kids, they get busted when they're 8 and 10 years old becuase they don't have any parents. Your jails are full of them.

17. I don't care about your society. The public is a bunch of assholes. When it comes down to it, they're all for sale. They're bought and sold.

18. For years I was the personification of everything evil, everything rotten in this country. Yeah, you dumped all your own criminality off on me. I was your goat.

It's your own judgment, now. The judgment you're making on me is only a mirror. You have to carry the burden of the image you created.

19. They crowd me and I got this little space. . . My life is bigger than this little space! I live in the desert. I live in the mountains. I'm big! My mind is big! But everybody's trying to crowd me down and push me down and make me into all those little things that they need me to be. And that's not me at all. That's not me!

20. There's a reverse side to everything. There's a positive and a negative. I'm both, negative and positive. I'm good and evil. I'm everything. I'm evil, I'm everything. I'm whatever I have to be to survive. I would do anything to survive. I'm a human being.

21. They sell more fear and everyone loves to buy that fear. You just lay back in the suburbs and support the police who can't protect you and buy a gun you can't shoot and watch that fear on the news.

22. Sure, I'm in harmony with God. God is just a word. We use the word God. Or the Devil. And if you want to say mostly the Devil in my world, OK, I play, I'll play. There's no game I can't play. No game I haven't played. Well, if people are saying that I am the Devil, OK, I'll be the Devil then.
