"With Godspell I thought of Jesus as the greatest prankster of them all, of the most infectious fun meister. What a wonderful way to think of Jesus, because religion had always showed him as a very serious man with a very serious mission who gets terribly persecuted and murdered. And Godspell opened my eyes. This is funny. All my life I've been worshipping a tragic story. What about giving people another version of that story?!"
