"I believe there is a force that controls and guides everything I do. I totally believe in it and pray to it though I don't know what it is. I am grateful for what it has given me. Every night I tell it this prayer which I learned as a child."- Jim James
(Pitchfork interview, August 2002)
"I consider myself really spiritual. I feel the presence of God, or whatever that is, all of the time, whether it’s live or music. I’ve never been able to define it or call it Christianity or Islam. I can’t put a label on it."
(Time Out Chicago, August 2009)
