I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.

One life is worth the universe. Poe was able to go right into the very depth of life and to demonstrate this.

At a certain point he was very popular, from THE RAVEN. He was never fully appreciated, never made the money, and you know he was looked upon with admiration by some people, but also as an oddball. But that was his point.

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.

Poe was a student of many things, and among those things he read and referred to in his work was the Bible.

There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings.

I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it's later in life.
