Despite the overwhelmingly morose nature of his lyrics, Stainthorpe insists they do not give a full overview of his personality. In 2004 he told metal-rules.com that:
"Some of the stuff is influenced by personal mishaps in life. Nobody has lived a perfectly good life without tragedies and we’ve used them as part of our songwriting. I think that dwelling on the darker side of life seems much more interesting and evocative than the happier things. . . I’ve got somewhere to put my depression and it’s called My Dying Bride. . . I'm generally a happy guy!"

Stainthorpe is also public about his hatred for music downloads and how badly it's affecting the music business. In an interview he conducted with http://www.puremetal.org he stated:
"Every single band on this planet is getting ripped off and sales have never been as low, even for the mega-stars, so don’t even bother trying to make a career from music, folks, as it’s a dead-end job with no prospects!"
