Just because I've extricated myself from religion doesn't mean I'm not interested in the scriptures. I look at the Bible as itself. It's a holy book, it has incredible literature in it and beautiful poetry.

I had gone to Paris to immerse myself in painting and I came back wholly involved in words and rhythms.

I think I'm constantly in a state of adjustment.

I just know that young people suffer, and I also know music is one of the things that help you get through - music and friends.

I don't know about that. I'm not a very analytical person. I have various impulses. I've often quoted Walt Whitman's phrase "I contain multitudes." I understand that.

Should I pursue a path so twisted? Should I crawl defeated and gifted?

I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.
