My musical ambitions are not that great. I make music I like, and thankfully - for my ability to make an (fairly...) honest living - at least some others like the music too.

Personally I don't understand why the metal press even bother, but I guess it is good they do.

Being attacked by the press is not something I see as a problem, but rather a confirmation that I am on the right track. It is even better when they ignore me completely, like the Norwegian press does; that means they are really afraid.

If I like the music then at least some others will too, and that is all that matters in this context.

Killing a person with a 8 cm ling blunt knife is a bloody affair.

My "drop in the ocean" will contribute to the enlightenment of Europe, so to speak.

A man can only grow to a certain point when alone; to grow further you need some "irrational shocks", like a wife and children; a dramatic change to your own life.
