I'm not an actual author but an accidental one.

The soul is healed by being with children. --Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Emotions are the colors of the soul.

Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.

The God of Evangelical Christianity is a Monster.

The ability to choose is at the essential core of our grandeur. Even evil exists because God respects our ability to choose.

You are free to love without an agenda

You have to take the time to prepare the soil if you want to embrace the seed.

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.

I think that most creative fiction involves the transformational process, whether it is Dickens or Dostoyevsky and the writer in some sense is expressing their own journey through such a wilderness.

Women treat us [men] like humanity treats gods – they worship us and keep bothering us to do something.

Unhappiness was my god.

I always tape my Christmas show in advance. That way I can spend the season of joy and goodwill with my only sister in Florida. She’s kinda a creep but she’s got a pool.

I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.

Without education, there is no hope for our people and without hope, our future is lost

You don't have to travel around the world to understand that the sky is blue everywhere

If you are working, almost like with layers of the Grand Canyon, there's history within those layers.

I think that if I am notorious, it is because other people have decided that this is how I should be.

I don't want to go shoving what I believe down anyone's throat. Whatever I believe about Jesus is a personal thing, but it doesn't exclude all the others.
