I'm a Christian, and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that He can intercede in all kinds of situations, and we need to have a little faith in many things.

We’re supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government.

We need to diversify our economy, and the energy industry would be a great place to begin that diversification.

I'm pro responsible choice. You know, there is choice to abstain, choice to do contraception. There are all kinds of good choices

With every step we take we have a choice to make. Our choices determine our actions. Our actions determine who we are.

The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life.

Silence! coeval with eternity! thou wert ere Nature's self began to be; thine was the sway ere heaven was formed on earth, ere fruitful thought conceived creation's birth.

In the compact between novelist and reader, the novelist promises to lie, and the reader promises to allow it.

John Edwards comes from working folk, just like me. John Edwards worked hard and excelled to get his education, just like me.

The twentieth century was about getting around. The twenty-first century will be about staying in a place worth staying in.

The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.
