There's a lot to be concerned about; there's more to be hopeful for.

Stand up like a mountain; have faith like a rock; love like an avalanche

Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later.

Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.

God never said He'd eliminate all of the chaos from our lives; He just said He'd bring meaning to it.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can't afford it, pride doesn't understand it and friends never forget it.

No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off; just go love everybody without agenda.

Instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes God wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, do something about it, and bow our whole lives to Him instead.

We won't be distracted by comparison if we're captivated with purpose.

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

That's what love does - it pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. When you go after something you love, you'll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything.

I didn't do anything for Russia. I've done nothing for Russia. Hillary Clinton gave them 20% of our uranium.

Now and then when I get an idea for a picture, I think, how ordinary. Why paint that old rock? Why not go for a walk instead? But then I realise that to someone else it may not seem so ordinary.

I think a playwright must be his own dramaturg.

I don't have to talk. My record speaks for itself.

If you play Bach every day, you are not so alone.

My sister and the baby she was carrying died in the United States of America. They died in the country that spends more money on pregnancy and birth technology than any other country in this world.

There's only so many movies you can do. I start to get really self-loathing and sick of myself. And I think in order to act, you need to live a little bit to fill yourself with experience.

If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows.

I'm not very good on timing. In fact, I've stayed away from it.
