I did spend a lot of time as a child very confused about whether I had a devil in me, or whether I was in a state of grace. I mean, these ideas are so potent to anybody with half an imagination.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I did have strange ideas during certain periods of time.
Every parent has those moments where they look at their child and think, 'There's a demon in those eyes and no one can see it but me!'
I've always had a really active imagination. Lots of kids have imaginary friends. Mine just took on a rather demonic form.
While early childhood experiences may impel, they do not compel. In the end, evil is a matter of choice.
I was a spiritual kid.
I was a very strange child.
This discourse, and the present frame of my mind, lead me rather to speak to those, who by feeling Satan's fiery darts, know assuredly that there is a devil.
I was thinking about what it was like for my parents to have a strange kid with a hobby or a pursuit that maybe they weren't that familiar with. It must have been a strange experience - nerve-wracking, in some ways.
When I was a kid, I used to see apparitions and have hallucinations, and my entire perception of the world was badly disoriented. And I had kind of a chaotic childhood because of that. I've really hung onto it, though. Because I actually like those feelings.
I remember I was like five or six years old; I played the devil. That was my first role.
