Phil Anselmo

I've heard too many times where people say that I'm this ultra-serious guy. In truth, I've got an extremely absurd sense of humor. I thrive on the absurd - I love it.

We definitely have a hardcore following.

I love the Beatles, and when I was very young, I had young parents, so Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles constantly were big influences on my life.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

A pessimist is a man who looks both ways when he crosses the street.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
