I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.
