After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.

I hope what people learned from watching me is that just because you do things a little differently doesn't mean you can't do them just as well.

We are here for no purpose, unless we can invent one.

The reward is in the risk.

God has given us the Disciplines of the spiritual life as a means of receiving his grace. The Disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us.

If you don't control the borders, it doesn't matter what immigration laws you have.
