And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.

Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.

People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts, neglecting children, destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult.
