mean biblical giving
You can't just decide to take the subject matter of The Bible and figure out you can just change what you want. I mean, the audience knows, and if you give them a Biblical story, you better get it right.
real adventure islands
As the show's executive producer, I envisioned something akin to "Gilligan's Island" meets Lord of the Flies meets Ten Little Indians mets "The Real World." "Survivor" marks a return to a core element of adventure: staying alive.
mean realizing failing
My mantra is: Realize you're going to fail all the time, and accept it. That doesn't mean I'm not frightened of it.

America is the most giving nation on Earth. One of the best ways to feel better is by doing something for somebody else.

If you want to be certain, you should never get married. You should never change jobs. In fact, you might as well just stay home. Because I don't know anybody who is certain. That need to be certain is just procrastination.

Attitude produces character, and character produces hope.

I will guarantee you that the day you step outside your comfort zone by making success your goal is the day you discover that adversity, risk, and daring will make life sweeter than you ever imagined.

There's no reason the story of Christianity wouldn't be more prevalent in film and television considering the audience size who love and believe the stories. This is a broad audience and deserves to be on broadcast TV.

An instant family classic that is utterly unique but reminiscent of films like 'E.T.,' 'Sound of Music' and 'Life Is Beautiful.'

I learned firsthand that there would simply be no wars if people engaged in real conversation.
emotion facing-fear face-your-fears
Facing your fears robs them of their power.
amount audience hooked online people
If you think about the amount of people that are online all day, it's staggering. It's an audience that's already hooked in.
I'm not at all overextended... I'm very, very hands-on.
