I've had some success at writing and directing, and I like it. It's infinitely more creative than just acting, and I have things I want to say and do.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

A day that I don't learn something new is a wasted day.

Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.
