"I was sitting with a friend one time, and I blanked out for about a minute. I had no control over my muscles, and it scared the shit out of me because I experienced what I guess could have been hell or, you know, purgatory or whatever. It was freezing cold, and I was spinning like I was drunk and trying desperately to take a breath. There was chest pain like I was gonna explode. If you gotta feel pain here, you gotta feel it somewhere else. I believe that thereās a wonderful place to go to after this life, and I donāt believe thereās eternal damnation for anyone. Iām not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that Iām not the greatest power on this earth. I didnāt create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job."
