If anybody didn't have a messiah complex, it was Jesus.

I live with the understanding that truth is bigger than any religion and the world is God's and everything in it.

You want people who are both great fans and supporters and believers of your work and people who are also ruthlessly honest. People who will tell you the truth about it. Over the years I've picked up some friends and I know who to show what to and they'll give me the proper read.

Sociologically, large groups of people don't generally have massive changes in their belief instantaneously.

The joy is in the creation. So I've never had a target audience, it's always been about being true to the work as it emerges.

When we deny the spiritual dimension to our existence, we end up living like animals. And when we deny the physical, sexual dimension to our existence, we end up living like angels. And both ways are destructive, because God made us human.

There are moments when we have to return to our roots.
