I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.

The world changes, we do not, therein lies the irony that kills us.

I am not times fool, nor a god hardened by the millennia; I am not the trickster in the black cape nor the sorrowful wanderer. I have a conscience. I know right from wrong I know what I do and yes, I do it. I am the Vampire Lestat. That's your answer do with it as you will.

I broke with my religion in college.

I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.

My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become.

To learn and to love, that is what we are here for, any activity which is not grounded in one of these two is a waste of time.
