God is awesome; he doesn’t need you to be awesome. He wants you to be obedient.

My sin in the past: forgiven. My current struggles: covered. My future failures: paid in full all by the marvelous, infinite, matchless grace found in the atoning work of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love; It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.

It is the story that owns and directs us. It is the thing that makes us different from cattle

A great strategy meeting is a meeting of minds.

I visualize things in my mind before I have to do them. It's like having a mental workshop.

Have lots of experiments, but make sure they're strategically focused.

Left all my Beatle records out in the sun, got a coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue.

I've made my mind up that I will only do a film that I really, really love. I'm determined to lie low until a role comes along that really makes me want to work.

Don't bring a prop. It's almost like they were afraid nobody would know who they are.

Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.

Let us be kind to one another, to be aware of each other’s needs, and try to help in that regard.
