I don't know how many times a phone call or e-mail starts with, "I don't agree with anything you say but you're funny as hell so I listen to your show, I love your show."

You don't have to think exactly like me. When people go, "I don't agree with everything you say," you know what, if you agree with everything anyone says, you're an idiot.

You don't have to be straight. You just have to shoot straight.

Without God's grace, the soul is dead in sin.

Can't be on the front lines fighting a war with the weapons given to you by the enemy.

I always take a relationship to the next level. If that works out, I take it to the next level after that, until I finally reach that level when it becomes absolutely necessary for me to leave.

Theatre is poetry that rises from the book and becomes human enough to talk and shout, weep and despair

I don't think there is a right approach to teaching self discovery. Every situation is unique.

As soon as you have a language that has a past tense and a future tense you're going to say, 'Where did we come from, what happens next?' The ability to remember the past helps us plan the future.

I love the smell of freshly cut grass. It takes me back to summers in Maine.
