I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance.

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

Even though I was very shy, I found I could get onstage if I had a new identity.

I'm not an agent from any government, even if some of you may not believe it. I'm not. I'm a peacemaker.

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.

They may perform all sorts of religious rituals and good actions, but without the Name, the egotistical ones are cursed and doomed.
