I love God and I follow Jesus but I just don't have much affinity for the organized folderol of the churches in the Western World.

The churches weren't going to accept me looking like a street person with long hair and faded jeans. They did not like the music I was recording. And I had no desire to preach the gospel to the converted.

I'm only here on Earth to serve God. I never had a career. I don't care about commercialism. I have a ministry and I'll fight for the ministry.

Outside of Christ, my songs have no value

I don't live my life as a Christian with trepidation, feeling that perhaps I've failed to give the best gospel possible on each occasion, but realising that God's taking care of a lot through his Holy Spirit.

I can't improve on how the Bible expresses itself, so I don't even try.

My music was too religious for the rock and roll stores and too rock and roll for the religious stores.
