The Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. I believe that. Because I've seen it all work.
I knew that love was around. I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I haven't had a worst business decision, because I believe all things work together for good.
Don't believe the hype. I don't care how many number ones you have at the box office, I don't care how much they say you're great, don't believe it. Just stay in your lane and do what you're supposed to do.
I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not.
I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth.
You close the door on me and tell me I can't, I'm gonna find a way to get in.
I remember being a kid and praying in the hell of my house to have somebody love me and somebody that I could love.
The thing about using other people's money is they're going to set the rules.
There are a lot of people who have dreams, goals, and hopes, but there aren't a lot who get to see them realized.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
I'm not an artist. I set the camera up and tell my story.
It's schizophrenic -- that's how I describe it. It's all over the place, man. It's joy, it's happy, it's sad, it's everything. It's just an emotional roller coaster, you know? Even the plays themselves, you come to see them and it's like a stand-up comedic routine. I'm breaking the wall. I'm talking to the audience. It's theater. It's some of everything. It's concert.
