You're always believing ahead of your evidence. What was the evidence I could write a poem? I just believed it. The most creative thing in us is to believe in a thing.

I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief.

My belief is that to have no wants is divine.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.
