I think metal draws dumb people. It's not exactly a thinking man's genre.

When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

My priorities now a a musician are so different now than they were as a kid. Everyone wants to be a rock star, and I wanted that too; I wanted to be on magazines and be running around the world and having all the fun.

Some people are really into being music-minded and knowing all their scales and how to read music and speak the language.

Hate walks hand in hand with hate, and black metal especially is a genre that is full of white power bands.

I took music theory in high school and dropped out halfway through the semester because it was ruining music for me.

I'm not going to hide the fact that I am a happy person.
