Then my extended family, there are preachers and evangelists, former priests. So I have quite a bit of history with Church, religion and spirituality.

Both my parents are Methodist preachers, I grew up in a church.

I still consider myself a very spiritual person but the structure of the church isn't really for me.

Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it. Like my heart's going to cave in.

I grew up in the church and had religion in my life for a long time. I'm not really a church goer, but I definitely have a hunger for a spiritual connection to the world and for my soul to be healed.

You treat characters like people you meet in life-friends or mentors.

I wanted fame, but I thought it would be incremental, and I became afraid of the overnight-sensation thing.

I didn't know anything about Opus Die except from pop culture, like Dan Brown novels, which I knew wasn't really knowing anything about Opus Die.

But as a kid, I loved 'Monty Python.' My Dad was a devout watcher. We used to watch it when we ate dinner!

Words borrowed of antiquity do lend a kind of majesty to style, and are not without their delight sometimes.

I had lots of good intentions but I wasted them on people who didn't deserve them...

Because I'm such a studio guy, I really trust my process. I really believe in myself in the studio.

I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad's music, there just seemed to be elements missing.

Don't join the book burners!

I hate Billings, Montana. They have a fashion show at Sears Roebuck

If I'm having a chardonnay in the show, it'll be green tea with water.

I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.

The moment I understood this - that my Parkinson's was the one thing I wasn't going to change - I started looking at the things I could change, like the way research is funded.

I'm here today because I hated everything else.
