I Can't Have Discussions About It Anymore, I Just Can't. When Someone Asks Me If I've Found Jesus, I Say, 'yeah, I Saw Him At A Nirvana Concert A Couple Of Years Ago.' It's Like, Jesus Has Got Things To Do, He's Got A Ten O'clock. He's Not Going To Fix Things For Me, I Have To Fix Things For Myself, So I Try And Have A Sense Of Humor About It And Nobody Finds My Humor Very Amusing. We've Just Got To Lighten Up On The Savior Bit, Folks. You Know, Get Off The Cross, We Need The Wood.

My Strength Has Been To Open Again, To Life, And My Victory Is The Fact That, Despite It All, I Kept Alive My Vulnerability.
