My main problem with Norwegian Black Metal is that almost all the bands from 1992-1993 are made up of rats, who ratted each other out and blamed me for everything that went wrong in the scene. I really don't want to be associated with them in any way.

Hate is irrational. I am a rational person.

It is not possible to know how to behave in threatening situations before you even end up in such a situation.

I wear clothes reflecting the color of my soul!

What I think is more important than actually believing in reincarnation or thinking about a post-death existence is to live in the present.

Life treats me very well, as has always been the case, no matter where I have been.

Life is best when lived your way and not as a negation of what you don't like.

I expect either total success or total failure. That's my lot in life.

Yes, maturity in life brings maturity to the music I make.

I live an isolated life, and I rarely meet others.

Music, for me, was something I did because I was disillusioned after the Cold War's end and did not know what I wanted in life.

Burzum was never my choice of life. I didn't even want to become a musician.
