"We have this saying that when you are on certain types of drugs you are dancing with the one-legged man. That man is the one-legged black man who's always hopping around by the interstate near St. Charles Avenue, begging money. I wanted to take his artificial leg."
-Marilyn Manson, in an interview with Tribe
"I did have a Huggy Bear [character from Starsky & Hutch] doll. One of his legs fell off. That empty leg became a place where, when we were doing a lot of drugs on tour at one point, we would store the drugs in his empty leg. That's where the term dancing with the one-legged man on Smells Like Children came from."
-Marilyn Manson, in an interview in Seconds with Boyd Rice
