My Interests

"It's the Divine COMEDY, not the Divine Tragedy!"

(I say that.)

CAT'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE

"I don't believe in the avant-garde. I believe in the eternal."

(Bill Viola said that to me.)

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Gospel of Thomas, Discovered 1945 in Nag Hammadi, Egypt

(Jesus Christ said that.)

"Love is so powerful it always wins; Truth is so powerful it always wins; All it takes is Time."

(I say that, too.)
