Prior to sentencing for the fire bombing at Michigan State, he stated: 'I have gone from the most vocal proponent to now an open opponent of the ALF. My actions were illegal, radical and extreme and caused great pain to others.' In jail he retracted that statement (1995).

He lectures college students on how to construct firebombs out of easily available materials.

He claimed coyotes approached his prison to howl greetings to him.
He claims fire is a cleansing agent and if people get hurt that it is the same as people hurting animals.
