“I'm sentimental about Jesus on the cross. Jesus was a Jew, and also I believe he was a catalyst, and I think he offended people because his message was to love your neighbour as yourself; in other words, no one is better than somebody else.

So he rattled a lot of people's cages.”

It boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.”
