PETER STEELE

I think anyone who has an opinion, and voices it, will offend someone.

I just like being a social experiment sometimes. I really should not be allowed in public. But I just go out into the public just to see people's reaction. The thing is, I can do anything I want, virtually, within reason, just to see people's reaction.

I've been told by people that it's okay to cry but, you know what, it's been used against me.

Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.

I drink for the effect, because it loosens up the tongue a little bit.

To see someone 70 years old with dyed black hair, you're like, 'Hmmm, I dunno. Is that a wrinkled teenager? What is that?' So at some point, I'm going to have to stop doing this. It's gonna look ridiculous. I don't wanna look like Elvis Presley at 60 years old.

I guess I've learned that there's really no such thing as a bad label, there is only a bad contract.

I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man. I crawled out of a swamp yesterday.

It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.

I think I've changed a lot as a person.

So, I simply switched over to wine because it was not carbonated.

If someone told me when I was 16 or 18 years old that I'd be doing a side project with Tony Iommi, I wouldn't have believed it.

Technically, at this point we're no longer with the label; we've fulfilled our contract.

Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult.

Most bands don't even last fourteen months let alone fourteen years.

It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap.

I'm a big fan of the effects of alcohol.

I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment.

I used to try to run five miles every other day, which I worked up to and I was doing it, but I was subjected to my own thoughts for forty minutes without any sensory input, and I couldn't stand what I thought.

One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like, not to change.

I also like to eat very much, so I like all different types of foods.

Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.

I think all recent music sucks, and that includes Type O Negative.

When I wrote songs like 'Everyone I Love is Dead,' I never thought about how I was going to execute them live.
