When I first moved to New York I wanted to be a dancer, I danced professionally for years, living a hand-to-mouth existence.

I'm sentimental about Jesus on the cross. Jesus was a Jew, and also I believe he was a catalyst, and I think he offended people because his message was to love your neighbour as yourself; in other words, no one is better than somebody else. He embraced all people, whether it was a beggar on the street or a prostitute, and he admonished a group of Jews who were not observing the precepts of the Torah. So he rattled a lot of people's cages.

I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness, and loneliness has never been a stranger to me. But love tried to welcome me, but my soul drew back, guilty of lust and sin.

We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.

Isn't it amazing that there are laws of the universe that you can actually find out about, live your life according to and change the world for the better?

I made a vow that I would never need another person ever. Turned my heart into a cage, a victim of a kind of rage.

I think they probably got it on, Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
