The intersection of spiritual, dark music and radical ecology is quite natural.

People who just listen to music and are not a part of the creative community should realize that there is a lot of interaction between artists who have different styles.

I always wanted to make a cover album consisting of obscure psychedelic music from the 1960s - all re-shaped and customized, Ulver style.

There's no specific aesthetic other than a sense of the beautiful itself, I suppose.

There are a good number of people creating black metal and black metal inspired music in the northwest. Much of this music is radically noncommercial and exists only on a very local, private level.

I've never understood people who play up the artifice of music.

We have to call mass surveillance mass surveillance. We can't let governments around the world redefine, and sort of weasel their way out of it by saying this is bulk collection.

I don't like the monikers, and I don't like being pigeonholed. You know, I'm a human being.

I've never really understood that whole thing of writers avoiding other writers' novels while they're working on their own.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

If someone is expressing everything I am feeling at the moment, it's probably Jon Stewart. I hear him and think, Yeah!
