The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.

I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we're all actors.

I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other voices, then it's time to worry.

I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.

One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

One of my biggest fears is not being able to break out of a rut; of becoming a prisoner to my ways, unable to change course. But in my mid-thirties, I learned you can change your thinking.

These are people who haven't gone through the legal means to becoming citizens like our forefathers did. They want all the benefits but none of the responsibilities.

Love is messy. It's not something that's real clean.

When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore.

I grew up with the white picket fence. My dad went to work nine to five, and he had a station wagon.

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week.

The best way to encourage your children is to let them know you are praying for them.

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

I've never heard God speak out loud to me. That's not an experience I have had.

Love. Of course, love. Flames for a year, ashes for thirty.

Sometimes you talk to people who really don't know anything about your work, and what can you say?

From all wild beasts, a child is the most difficult to handle.

I believe God has called His people to be a light in darkness.
