I think a lot of the source of how people are treated depends on the fact if someone recognizes them as a human being or not, you know what I mean?

To recognize yourself in a character onscreen, and to connect with them, you gotta recognize their flaws; they gotta feel like a real person.

Something impacts me emotionally, art is a kind of outlet, and I figure it's the same for a lot of artists. The way my mind deals with things is cinematic.

I think that when youre making a story... thats based on somebody, the filmmaker has his duty to do his research.

When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.

Children know by instinct that hell is an absence of love, and they can pick out theirs without missing.

The spirit of light dwell in thee. Let it shine.

Learning is the heart of discipleship. You can't just take up your cross daily. You need to take up the Bible every day.

When you love your work then it isn't work, it's your love affair.

Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.

How softly summer shuts, without the creaking of a door.

Nothing brings fear to my heart more than a floating point number.

Whatever you do, whether you're doing a television drama or a romantic comedy, you want to be relevant, to some degree.

Suffering must be the inevitable tariff exacted from spirit for residing in human form.
