I meditate on God's life and I read the scriptures. I read something about Him, go through it and spend a lot of time by myself.
Everyone was thinking it was going to be a bust. I felt redeemed.
I think you can't be passive in making this film - or in watching it.
I look at this as a service. I enjoy that.
I don't know if you could ever prepare for that. Nick Nolte told me one time, fame is like a red balloon. It just blows up, gets bigger and bigger. It's just full of hot air.
I really enjoy talking to actors or filmmakers that enjoy that process of creating and how they go about doing it.
Usually people who are evil don't see themselves as evil.
I'm a film rat. I love being in front of a camera. I love being behind a camera. I love talking to the director. I love talking film.
I was a basketball player. I'm a gym rat. I'm always in the gym playing.
What actor wouldn't want to work with Mel Gibson?
I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.
I don't really prepare for each role the same way.
Conversion is a daily thing.
Christ died for the truth.
