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.

There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God.

I'm a 'specist.' I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race. I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man.

Peter Steele

I want to stay away from politics, or else I'll probably end up putting my size fifteen foot into my mouth.

Peter Steele

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

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.

Peter Steele

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

Peter Steele

If they weren't laughing with me, okay; if they want to laugh at me it's better than nothing.

Peter Steele

Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music.

Peter Steele

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

As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.

There's a lot of things that go on when you're on tour that cannot be controlled. I'm not even talking about myself, but of course there's sexual activity and drugs, fighting and language; it is certainly not a place to raise a family.

Peter Steele

So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun.

Peter Steele

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

We're the only species who hunts for sport.

Peter Steele

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

Peter Steele

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.

Peter Steele

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.

Peter Steele

I don't believe in, and I am a devout non-believer, in playing new songs live if the subjected and pathetic crowd has not heard them before because I consider it like mass psychosis and genocidal.

Peter Steele

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