I have been metal all my life, only I did not know about it. The people in this album (Charlemagne) and I, share the same values.

Peter Jackson's instincts are extraordinary, as is his stamina.

I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.

My favourite country is Finland because once you get to a certain point, you can drive for hours without seeing a single person. I love peace and quiet - something I don't get very often.

I was once asked what I thought was the most disquieting thing you could see on the screen and I said, "An open door".

I wasn't a spy. I'd have been spotted in five seconds. Yes, I was in intelligence, but that covered a multitude of things.

Comedy is the most difficult thing to do. Easily the most difficult.
