I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.

We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety, it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.

I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.

Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.

Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.

I think the worst thing that can happen to a good actor is fame.

I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.

I think I always try to be accommodating and open and available and proving for my director. I love to give as many takes as they want. I love to give them as many choices as they want.

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.
