One of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.

Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.

Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.

Let us this very day begin anew, and now say, with all our hearts, we will forsake our sins and be righteous.

After doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn't say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.

I'm a dirt road out in the country kind of person, but I remember thinking, I could live in Chicago.

My sister and my brother, of whom I have not spoken before, were considerably older than I; it seemed almost as if we belonged to different generations.

I never wanted to be a millionaire. I just wanted to live like one.
