I never doubt the gains that I got from Scientolog. I've never doubted the effectiveness of auditing. But I believe there's a real problem with the Church. The core poison is greed. I look at Scientology, and I think it's being destroyed by this quest for the buck.

I love Scientology. But there needs to be a differentiation between the Church of Scientology and the philosophy.

I did a lot of soul-searching before going public. I was concerned there might be some type of Waco or Jonestown event.

I had the No. 2 position from 1998 until I left. I answered to no one but David Miscavige, who was chairman of the board. I was the personal counselor for Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley.

That’s the difference between the old Scientology and the new: the brave new Scientology is all these beautiful buildings and real estate and no people.
