I'm not afraid to express the different elements of my personality, and I think there's a bad habit in America now to, label people having multiple personalities, things like this, but it's, I feel like, even on the album I describe myself as a hydra which is, many heads, many different personalities.I don't think you need to be one specific person when you can be many.

There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.

What nearly everybody in my life had misunderstood about Satanism was that it is not about ritual sacrifices, digging up graves and worshipping the devil. The devil doesn't exist. Satanism is about worshipping yourself, because you are responsible for your own good and evil.

If you intend to create something that people will observe and listen to, you've got to listen to them first.

I put out a lot of ideas in the lyrics and the way I do my things. There's a lot of ideas floatin' around and people who know what it is. People will pick it up if they know what to pick up.

I don't think I have ever tried to create things to encourage people to hurt others, or themselves.

I heard this album as finished, I heard it in dreams . . . It was like the revelations of John the Baptist or something.
