Many of us had this idea of doing independent film, of making personal, relevant films, as opposed to Hollywood fluff. I directed a few.

If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. It really is public brainwashing and misinformation.

I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.

The only possible form of exercise is to talk, not to walk.
