Unless you already have a name well known in at least one stratum of society, I don't think trying to do things yourself will be easy - if at all possible.
Varg Vikernes
Joining a sub-culture, any sub-culture, for whatever reason, is as I see it never a legitimate self-expression. It is always a result of sheep mentality a wish to belong somewhere.

I wish I could say differently, but I really don't think so. There are too many musicians already for probably anyone to be noticed without some sort of commercial support. Even the most talented ones drown in a sea of mediocrity, and only the politically correct ones will ever be promoted (willingly...) by the press anyhow.

If I like the music then at least some others will too, and that is all that matters in this context.

Words and ideas can change or influence the mind just like music can - yes, like a spell. Regarding the effect of my spells I think it varies my music communicates with some, and I think it has had a positive influence on the minds of those who like it. I hope it helped them see the world from a different perspective.

I think the dawning of a new era sounds a bit pretentious, and to me it's simply a step closer to my roots, and thus yes - I do feel liberated by this. I know many dislike this move, and I suspect that it is not really the dawning of a new era, but rather a move to a style which sells less records

I'd say the modern world has moved yet further away from me, and I don't think whether or not I am incarcerated has had much to say in this context. Living with your family changes you, for the better, and that would be the reason for the accelerated growth in the post-prison period, so to say.

The metal press has a certain type of audience, and I think most of them support the magazines' negative focus on me.

I grew up with classical music, and to a lesser extent electronic music, and that's where I belong, so to speak.

A man can only grow to a certain point when alone to grow further you need some irrational shocks, like a wife and children a dramatic change to your own life.

Naturally I never had the intention to offend or alienate Slavs. ... What makes me different from the 'nazis' are basically three things unlike them I am not socialistic (not even on a national level), I am not materialistic and I believe in (the ancient Scandinavian!) democracy.

I like Iron Maiden and a few other bands, but by and large I don't like metal music. Most of it simply put reeks. This meant that it was no great loss for me to drop the metal music altogether.
Varg Vikernes
The divide between me and the modern world is growing further because I to a larger degree manage to rid myself of my dependence on the modern world. If the modern world collapsed tomorrow I would be fine, and I see so many others who would not be.

We pick up the lost bits and pieces, from the grass where we left them, and bring them with us into a future that will be made up of so much more as well.

Out of pure spite we pretty much always said the opposite of what the other said, no matter what they said, only to mark distance. That's how we ended up calling ourselves Satanists, despite the fact that we absolutely were not. There was not a single Satanist in the whole Black Metal scene in Norway in 1991-92.

I don't need to publish anything to make a living, so to speak, and I think it is much more important to spread information about our European religion than it is to make money from doing so.
Varg Vikernes
Being a man with a conscience I simply felt that I had to do something - anything! - about the world we live in.
Varg Vikernes
Being sociable is a sacrifice, as I see it. I really don't like to be, but it is necessary and worth it.
Varg Vikernes
I have a fairly well known name, so for me to do things my way is not that hard.

Europe really needs to wake up, cast aside the lies and get rid of the Jewish yoke we live under - once and for all.
