I had a very loyal cult-like following, I feel. And I don't mean to complain about that.

On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable.

I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.

Yes, there was a sort of underground cult following, which came from nowhere, and grew, and grew. It was quite surprising to us all, because all of us had spent probably the previous five to ten years without it. So it was quite overwhelming. Overwhelming and humbling.

I can't really say how big the cult is. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud that it has a life.

If you're not interested in history, if you're living for the day, you need some sort of cliche hook. I certainly don't think of myself as a cult anything. It's a strange thing to even consider pursuing.

I was sort of born into a Subud cult that has ties to Islam and Indonesia and Middle Eastern spiritualism. My parents were kind of trial-and-error when it came to religion.

Raised Roman Catholic up until 11 or 12, didn't stick. Went out into the world and did my own thing.

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