Acting represents all that human beings experience, and if you want it to be 'nice,' you will never be a serious communicator of the human experience.

Everything I'm teaching you about acting has one aim only: to fire you up emotionally and behaviorally so that you can give a vivid, involving, and memorable performance.

That's what our work can do: we remind people that things can change, that wounds can heal, that people can be forgiven, and that closed hearts can open again.

One of the most important things I've learned about acting is that you can't separate how you live your life and how you practice your art.

You're not simply entitled to be an actor - you're not an actor just because you call yourself one - you earn it. You earn it by working.

Acting is a spiritual quest to touch human beings.

You can't play an emotional condition; you have an emotional condition, and because you have that condition, you try to overcome it with active doings (intentions).

I call this book The Intent to Live because great actors don't seem to be acting, they seem to be actually living.

The rules are what make us better.

The greatest vision of sin that a person canever receive is to look at the cross.

Thus hath it been sent down from the heaven of the Will of your Lord, the Lord of Revelation.

Weak men are easily put out of humor. Oil freezes quicker than water.

Humble prayer to our Heavenly Father, in deep faith in Jesus Christ, is essential to qualify us for the companionship of the Holy Ghost.

Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another.

Why do dying people never shed tears?

No person with a grievance can be also a person with an attractive personality!

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

I do think that the fear mentality - of scarcity - comes from within.

My driving career is low, but musically, it's all pretty high. It's a test of patience, takes forever, but I guess that's the nature of the thing of life. I'm glad to be living the musical life.
