'The word 'spirituality' is a little amorphous for my taste. It can mean almost anything, whereas the word 'religious' is just more specific, perhaps even conservative, has a little more to do with tradition.
Religion is spirituality with rigour, I guess, and, yes, it makes demands on us. For me, it involves some wrestling with the idea of faith - that seam of doubt that runs through most credible religions. It's that struggle with the notion of the divine that is at the heart of my creativity.'
