Laurie Anderson
Shining in the midnight moonlight, while the King sings love me tender.
Laurie Anderson
The main thing that attracts me to Buddhism is probably what attracts every artist to being an artist - that it's a godlike thing. You are the ultimate authority. There is no other ultimate authority.
