When I'm writing books, something weird happens; and the result is the books contain a large amount of what you could call 'supernaturalism.' As a writer, I find I need that to explain the world I'm writing about.

When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.

As an adult (after college) and as an artist I thought about what was real, what sustained me - it was Christian Science. I was using that when I didn't know it. Saying yes to the Light and your better instinct.

Ever since the Enlightenment, people thought that we were living in a rational universe. They thought that God was a mathematician and that the function of the scientist was to figure out the mathematical rules whereby the universe was created.

I did have strange ideas during certain periods of time.

I know my theories and findings are hard for you to accept because they are so original and extraordinary.

I took lots of photographs and had planned to write a treatise on how it worked, but I quickly got bored with that idea and wrote a scientific fairy tale instead.

In life, a lot of great ideas sound insane or absurd at first.
