I have seen God do more in people's lives during ten minutes of real prayer than in ten of my sermons.

Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.

No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.

I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.

He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.

The Internet helps break down so many barriers. People start to see what's happening around the world, they feel more of a oneness and they get information all at the same time, so that helps.

A man is an artist only at certain moments, by an effort of will. Objects have the same appearance for everybody.

I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.

I went to film school at UT Austin. I learned a lot and that school's good for puking up all your bad movies early and quick. But ultimately, no one can teach you to be an artist.

We were alive. I remember it that way. We were still alive, and we couldn't see how close we were to the end.
