If you're going to be a myth or want to be a myth, you'd better die young.

Other people's beliefs may be myths, but not mine.

I am attracted to myths.

When I was young, I was religious.

Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

It was only after 20 years of being dunked in the religious culture that I got caught up in 'religion.' I had no exposure to Christianity as a child. I was not raised in a Christian home. I became spiritually hungry in high school.

I tend to think of a myth and then explore how it would play out if it were happening in the modern-day world. I modify all the myths I use, but I stick very closely to their structure - it is the hidden teacher in me.

I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.

Actually, I love mythology. When I was a kid I was obsessed with myth and I wanted to be a mythologist when I grew up. Then I realized I really just like stories.
