Kyle MacLachlan

If I had a Salvador Dali painting, I would cuddle it to sleep.

Robert Plant

The word 'religion' is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word 'faith'. You either have faith, or you don't have faith, or you have degrees of faith - and if you have degrees of faith, then you become agnostic. You're kind of in-between, or you're on the fence.
