I was born in England - though both of my parents are American - and there's something about the 'Muppets' where they have this combination of English and American humor.

I love the romantic comedy genre. It's a genre rich with many of the best movies ever made and I try to treat it with the respect that Shakespeare treated it with.

I think people try to jam a lot of artificial plot devices into a lot of romantic comedies, and they don't treat it with the respect I believe it deserves.

Men should be judged not by their tint of skin, the gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.

You will always know whether you are delivered from the guilt of sin by answering this question: Am I delivered from the love of sin?

Many men and women spend their lives in unsuccessful attempts to spin the flax God sends them upon a wheel they can never use.

There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn't always see it.

Christianity stands or falls as a living program, a way of life, made concrete in the life of man by the life of God through the life of the concretely living Christ.
