Quote

Certainly I was a very religious child, a deeply weird and very emotional child, an only child with lots of imaginary friends and a very active imagination. I loved Sunday school and Bible camp and all that. I had my own white Bible with Jesus' words printed in red in the text; I even spoke at youth revivals.

I had a relatively tumultuous childhood.

I was a spiritual kid.

I had a brother who was my savior, made my childhood bearable.

I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.

Seeing 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' was an extraordinary experience because it made me realise that all the biblical stories and images I'd ignored as a child had sunk in by osmosis. I saw that my childhood was deeply rooted inside me.

Because of my faith and my imagination, I was able to enjoy my childhood, even though it was tough.

I was a very strange child.

My family took me to church when I was like 4 years old, and I had to be in a pageant, and I was playing Jesus.
