    “Listen, I know this sounds really far out, and I don’t know if it’s real or not, but sometimes, I think I can go all the way back to in utero and feeling like I could see faces in the dark or something," he said.

    “Now that I am no longer in utero, I would have to imagine it was perhaps vocal vibrations resonating through to me in that stage going way back. That comes to mind."
