People are transported to that space that Poe wanted to make available to us.

We are running ourselves into a damaged earth. But I am optimistic. I believe that we can change; we must change. As a human race, we are very young and quite primitive. The sooner we learn the greatness of humanity the better off we will all be.

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

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

United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea, what a rare thing that was... to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs, and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn't that amazing?

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!

With friends like these, who needs hallucinations?
