It's a band singing on how metal should be played, the effect it has on the band and its listeners.

People should not pass judgment until they have seen the film.

Making films has never just been a job to me, it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going, it's what I do, it gives life purpose.

What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own generation and the next generation know me, too.

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.

When the Second World War finished, I was 23 and already I had seen enough horror to last me a lifetime. I'd seen dreadful, dreadful things, without saying a word. Seeing horror depicted on film doesn't affect me much.

Films are now made by accountants. They pick a pretty young female or male face out of the air and give them a part - not because they think that person is right for it or is ready for it, but because they think that person will make them money.
