I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.

There are so many different stories. You can choose to tell them, or not, but they certainly have the right to exist

Don't be snarky, but don't be saccharine. Don't pander, but don't shut people out. Go straight down the line with the performance.

I just want to work hard. I love that feeling.

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

You will always be your child's favorite toy.
