Quote

I believe in the power of the human spirit.

Sensual is everything that refers to the delight of the senses. And that's what artists do, is stimulate the senses in any possible way.

I believe innately in the human spirit being a powerful and positive thing. And that just comes out, whether you like it or not. It comes out in the writing.

I'll tell you what: I believe mysticism is a very serious endeavor. One must be equipped for it.

I believe passionately that everyone has a particular God-given ability.

To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread.

I think my understanding of different types of love has certainly deepened.

I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration.

By religion, then, I understand a propitiation or conciliation of powers superior to man which are believed to direct and control the course of nature and of human life.
