Manson was polite, mild-mannered and introverted – yet also a dynamic visual collaborator. We talked about hypocrisy and failed leadership while a tropical storm raged in paradise that day. I took him outside onto the balcony overlooking the windswept palm trees. Although I focused on the tormented background scene, you can still see all the scars on his chest from his violent stage act. Now, Marilyn Manson is 50 years old, and so am I. Here’s to being a true cultural provocateur. Marilyn Manson, I salute you.”
