I am not a vegetarian. For some time, I tried to be a semi-vegetarian, eating only fish, birds, and no red meat, but... I don't know if I have an opinion on vegetarianism.

Keep the masses fed and entertain them to keep them in line.
The ancient Greek philosophers were blonde and blue-eyed and, even then, talked about how their race was mixed with others and how this affected their society negatively. When there were no more natural blondes and no more blue eyes in Greece, they incidentally stopped producing great philosophers.
I believe in blood, soil, and honour; family, homeland, and hamingja; strength, traditions, and courage.
I really don't want to be associated with the low-brow Black Metal genre. If you want to know what I mean when I say that, just have a look at an Immortal video on YouTube or something. It's so dumb I don't know what to say, really, and it's so ridiculous, we can barely tell the difference between the real stuff and the parodies.
I am not religious in any way, but I have a pagan ideology and pagan values.
If the so called 'democratic' individuals out there really believe in their talk about diversity, they should let those with truly different opinions be allowed to talk freely in public, too.
Climate changes are caused by solar radiation and other natural phenomena, so I don't worry one bit about that. Nothing we do can change anything in the climate.
To me, personally, an ideal society would be a world where only I and those I care for exist.
Astrology is interesting but not very accurate. It's a science I don't trust very much.
Life is best when lived your way and not as a negation of what you don't like.
Personally, I am a nationalist, but my race is my nation, and I see all true Europeans as my racial brethren and part of my nation, be them Norwegian, Danish, or Swedish, French, German, or English, Russian, Polish, or Belorussian, or whatever.
Venom was a joke in the '80s, their heavy metal music sucked big time, and I really have no interest in them - not then, not now.
I wear clothes reflecting the color of my soul!
Innovation, creativity, and lunacy goes hand in hand.
Lead by example. Be better than those you despise.
The prison system in Norway is fairly civilized, by world standards, and so are the prisoners and the guards.
I only want to make music I like and that I can enjoy myself and be proud of.
Hellhammer is the best drummer ever, and Euronymous is a musical genius.
Actually, I have never been a great fan of martial arts competitions. Not even when I was training martial arts myself.
I've been offered, I think it was £300,000 to play live two concerts in London some years ago. And I said 'No. No thanks.' I would rather stay home here and change oil on my car, or collect some rotten wood from the forest, spread on my ruined former agricultural land.
I never do anything to make money. I do make money, but that's because I do something. Big difference.
Time moves too slowly for me to notice any evolution in my creative tendencies.
I am sorry, but recording an album is just hard work; tedious, repetitive, and not very fun at all. Mixing is a bit better, but still pretty boring.
I have barely seen my son since he came into the world. Even though I hear his voice on the phone almost every day, it is very tough to not be present while he is growing up.
Burzum was never formed, as Burzum is no group, only Count Grishnackh of many colors.
I am not a philosopher, only frustrated by the development of the world we live in - and too stupid to keep my mouth shut when I see injustice.
I expect either total success or total failure. That's my lot in life.
I just make music. If you don't like it, you don't need to buy or listen to it.
I know too much about religion to be religious, so to speak, and I am not that stupid, either.
I have learned from my mistakes and become older.
I make music, and if anyone wants to dislike it because of my logo, or lack thereof, then fine by me.
Globalization is very destructive to our species.
I think metal fans are more loyal than other fans, and they are often more inclined to collect the albums of their favorite bands.
I live in the present and in the future. Not in the past.
I enjoy making music and take my time to do everything until it is 'perfect.'
I do vote, and naturally, I vote for so-called extremist parties, the further to the right the better, but that's where my participation in politics ends.
I think the growing disregard for the environment, culture, and heritage is a natural consequence of capitalism.
My musical roots and inspiration lie not in rock n' roll or metal music, but first and foremost in classical music, balalaika, and in underground house music.
If you want to change the world - I do - you have to start with yourself.
I look forward the day that I could work on my farm, create music, write books, and be with the wife and kids around the clock - and live a normal life.
Life treats me very well, as has always been the case, no matter where I have been.
What I think is more important than actually believing in reincarnation or thinking about a post-death existence is to live in the present.
I wrote, exercised, ate healthy, and responded to life in prison very well.
I don't think I have an image of being an underground musician. I have an image of being an uncompromising musician, and I am well known in Norway partly because of that.
I live an isolated life, and I rarely meet others.
I am not the 'Count' that has been portrayed in the media.
To record an album is cathartic, or at least it was with 'Belus,' but to make music is more fulfilling than anything else, I think.
Until I was around 12 or 13, I only listened to classical music, mostly Tchaikovsky. But around that age, I started listening to Iron Maiden, and that's when I purchased my first guitar, a pearl-white Westone.
Burzum was never my choice of life. I didn't even want to become a musician.
