I think Poe had a mission to tell us what it's all about. To answer some of the great questions of life.

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

It is important to me that what Poe has to say gets across to people. I want to give people the feeling that I get from all this. I think that we are succeeding. The feedback is very warm.

I got things like the lotus position long before anybody else did, or at least in the mainstream. But I had fun. I guess my legs are pretty flexible, so I used to get a kick out of doing things like that. I would get into a full lotus with my legs and then roll around.

With friends like these, who needs hallucinations?

The world is, for the most part, a collective madhouse, and practically everyone, however "normal" his facade, is faking sanity.

The themes Poe used were universal and timeless. As long as the English language exists at all, we will be able to appreciate what he did. It will not age! It will not become dated!
