Interview by the onion from

Performance artist, musician, and author Laurie Anderson's most recent
 studio album is 2001's Life On A String.

 The Onion: Is there a God?

 Laurie Anderson: Yes.

 O: Do you want to elaborate on that?

 LA: Well, okay, at the risk of being completely corny, it exists as a
 potential in every single person.  That's what attracts me to
 Buddhism, because it's the only belief system in which there is no
 God at all.  There is no big authority figure; there is no ultimate
 anything. You are God. And that's really terrifying.  Suddenly, you
 realize, "Oh my God, that means I'm responsible, and there's nobody
 to grovel in front of, no one to blame, and no one to praise. I need
 to do this myself." That's almost more than anybody can take, but
 that's what I admire about Buddhism.
