“I've always been a person afraid of the dark. I was taught that when you have complete darkness, that's when spirits walk.

“Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses; otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.” WorldMindMaySometimesDiesGrowing UpGrowingDoorsModernStrangeBedMiracleRosePassiveNurtureModern WorldOpen MindPrecious GiftsBed Of Roses Author:Tim Lebbon

“It's amazing being a member of perhaps the last analog generation - being born in the late '40s, growing up in the '50s and '60s, when it was still a very analog world. And in New Orleans those days, the country was just next door, as it were. You didn't have to travel miles and miles to get out in the woods. There's tons of fishing, obviously, in New Orleans, and tons of hunting. That was part of the cycle of life, to get fresh meat from the butcher or go duck hunting and get it yourself.
