Quote

By the time I had got to college, I had begun to read and had decided that most of what Christians believed could not be credible. So I became a philosophy major at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.

I tried to start my own religion in high school. I was very eccentric. I've always loved attention.

I studied religions and all kinds of other things in college. I took a Shakespearean villain course for English literature. It was really intense. I think that sort of rounds a person. In this business, it's really important for us to be interesting... and have interests.

I grew up with a very religious background.

I've dabbled in several different religions.

I struggled to keep one foot in music and one in academia. I had worked on my Ph.D. for three years full time before I realized Bad Religion could be a legitimate career.

I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.

Yes I did study to be a preacher, but I didn't finish.
