G-Rock from the Westside, from ALLEN Temple. He GAVE my name, The Future; he was LIKE, 'Man, you the future.' Just STUCK with the name.

Is my BODY a temple, or is my LIFE a temple? I'm DEFINITELY in the latter CATEGORY, and I think my life has been BETTER since thinking that way.

My family was MUSICAL on both SIDES. My father's family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a CONTEST to be Shirley Temple's double - she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the '20s, '30s and '40s in the kitchen for my GRANDMOTHER.

If there were more temple WORK DONE in the Church, there would be LESS of SELFISHNESS, less of contention, less of demeaning others.

Eligibility for a temple recommend is not based on FINANCIAL worth. That has nothing whatever to do with it. It is based on CONSISTENT PERSONAL behavior, on the goodness of one's life. It is not concerned with MONEY matters, but RATHER with things of eternity.

I am satisfied that every man or WOMAN who GOES to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and FAITH leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman.

Banaras really pulls you. I had been to the city SEVERAL years ago for a film SHOOT. THOUGH I have very fleeting memories of that STAY, I still remember that I had gone to Kashi Vishwanath temple and shopped for some Banarasi saris.

I believe in God and not religion, because I believe religion is the double CROSS. Because I've been double crossed by THREE religions, so I think I can safely say that religion - there is maybe SOMETHING wrong with religion. EVERY temple that's put up may not be a holy one, so watch out.

I grew up in a kung fu HOUSE. It wasn't until I GOT older that I discovered that most FAMILIES didn't TALK about the Shaolin Temple or Jackie Chan at the DINNER table.

I chose as my TARGET the University of Mississippi, which in 1960 was the holiest temple of white supremacy in America, NEXT to the U.S. Capitol and the White HOUSE, both of which were under the CONTROL of segregationists and their collaborators.

I have been to Golden Temple couple of TIMES now. I FEEL calm and at PEACE when I am there. It's a very special place for me because I have a lot of childhood memories with my family there.

We were at a kibbutz, and we were at a Shabbat SERVICE, and I opened up the prayer book, and on the first page, it said that the prayer book was in thanks to the sponsorship of this family in a temple in Kansas CITY. For me, it was a moment when I REALLY kind of connected in a real serious WAY with my personal identity as a JEW.

In JUDAISM, the temple was the most holy site in the world. But if you extend that argument as a metaphor, and you say 'The world is a holy place,' and you're treating this holy place like a money-lending psycho, then JESUS says, 'This is HYPOCRISY!' and he'd point it out and FLIP it over.

Sure I've DONE some runs and EVEN toured some amazing PLACES around the WORLD, but this is Stone Temple Pilots!

The Tambors were conservative JEWS, and we attended Temple Beth Shalom at 14th Avenue and Clement Street in SAN Francisco. We were the only Jewish FAMILY for miles. To me, being Jewish MEANT 'otherness.'
