• Creo que en todo el mundo cristiano existe una ley que considera blasfemia negar o dudar de la inspiración divina de todos los libros del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento, desde el Génesis hasta el Apocalipsis. En la mayoría de los países de Europa se castiga con la hoguera, el potro o la rueda... Ahora bien, ¿qué libre indagación, cuando un escritor debe seguramente afrontar el riesgo de multa o prisión por aducir cualquier argumento para investigar la autoridad divina de esos libros?

• He that comes to Christ cannot, it is true, always get on as fast as he would. Poor coming soul, thou art like the man that would ride full gallop whose horse will hardly trot. Now the desire of his mind is not to be judged of by the slow pace of the dull jade he rides on, but by the hitching and kicking and spurring as he sits on his back. Thy flesh is like this dull jade, it will not gallop after Christ, it will be backward though thy soul and heaven lie at stake.

• I love the gothic literature. It always has such great stories with characters bigger than life and the stakes are always high. And because there's always a wolf at the door, the emotions are high; the romance, the sexuality, friendships, and relationships. You don't know if the guy kissing you one minute is going to bite you the next. This heightens all of the sensibilities and emotions, and therefore, it sings to me. And that's where the music comes from.
