I don't really have a life philosophy; my thing is just rebelling against pretty much organized religion. That is my main thing, because personally I think it's a crutch for people that are too weak to get through life on their own. I'm the kind of guy that says if I don't see it, then it doesn't work. And nobody can show me God.

If you dont tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.

I remember in the old days, when we were promoting a show, we'd be out taping flyers to high-school lockers. Now you just announce the show online, and it's a full house.

If I'm in a corner, I like my corner. It's the coolest corner I've ever been in.

When something irritates me, I don't go home and write; I just don't do that.

Venom were the first thrash band i heard on record-it really pushed me to the best!

Chart numbers can be deceiving. An album doesn't have to sell that much these days to show up really high on the charts.
