“I've thought about death often in recent weeks, but not really about God. My mother took me to church occasionally--but I don't recall ever connecting that up with the thought of God. She mentioned Him quite often, and I had to pray to Him at night, but I never thought much about it. I remember Him as a distant uncle with a long beard on a throne (like Santa Claus in the department store on his big chair, who picks you up on his knee and asks you if you've been good, and what would you like him to give you?). She was afraid of Him, but asked favors anyway. My father never mentioned Him--it was as if God was one of Rose's relatives he'd rather not get involved with.”

“But the song itself ("Christian Woman"), you know, I had always loved '80s rock--I always like to refer to Type O Negative as "Flock Of Assholes." But we have somewhat better haircuts.”
― Peter Steele, Type O Negative

“We still have problems, but I do not hide that I'm used to it now. I like the name Rotting Christ because I think that it has impact. The name punches conservative ideals worldwide...I remember once when returning from tour and seeing my mother almost crying...she said that she saw me on the TV. On a special show about Satanists and murderers...I also remember hiding in Storm Studios because some journalist was looking for us...We also had protests at some of our shows, a few death threats, and some shows were cancelled because bands refused to share the same stage with us. Conservative minds always think of ways to limit freedom and the free exchange of ideas.”

“They always used to say, 'We can't record that loud,' and I said, 'Of course you can. What are you talking about? Of course you can record a loud band. Just turn everything to the red; you'll be all right.' Seeing as like we were the boss, they did and it worked.”
