Return to a simpler life, and you will see that behind the expensive cars, the fashionable clothes, the empty celebrities, the fancy houses and the thick layers of make-up life has real meaning. Behind all the lies there is a deep well of wisdom that we can all drink from, and grow wiser, healthier and happier.

My own growth is a part of a group evolution, definitely. It does feel as if the changes in the group are meant to be, and that I am not as much a catalyst, so to say, but rather a result of this.

My own growth comes not (just) individually, but mainly as part of a greater change for the better.

To a large degree I don't even like most metal music I hear.

I have a fairly well known name, so for me to do things my way is not that hard.

I am too conservative to use another studio than the one I am used to, so I "had" to travel all the way from France to Norway every time I wanted to record an album. That was about 3,500 km each way in a Lada Niva with a cruising speed of 90 kph.

Being sociable is a sacrifice, as I see it. I really don't like to be, but it is necessary and worth it.
