The myth of redemptive violence - Caesar, peace, and victory - is in people's bones so deeply, we aren't even aware of it. You crush the opposition; that's how we bring peace.

I like to say that I practice militant mysticism. I'm really absolutely sure of some things that I don't quite know.

I believe God gives people the right to say no, to resist, to refuse, to reject, to cling to their sins, to cling to their version of their story.

Wherever I went, crowds appeared again, and I started making solo albums for the first time in my career.

Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.
