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

The thing I have always tried to do is surprise people, to present them with something they didn't expect.

I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.

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.

Once asked if he felt wearied by the constant onslaught of autograph seekers, actor Gregory Peck replied that he would be more worried when they stopped asking.

The song "My Way" is a very remarkable song. It is also difficult to sing because you've got to convince people that what you're singing about is the truth. It's a man who is very proud of having achieved everything that he's achieved his way.

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.
