To understand this Christmas record, you have to understand our ministry.

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio.

I call it the Etch A Sketch life. Every few years, you should shake that thing up.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.

I've been stuck on John Eldredge lately. He's all about being a warrior outside of the church. I hate to think about this kind of stuff - I just like to do it.

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.

The real advantage for me is that I have the opportunity to lead worship every Sunday.

Really, at a time when theyre debating when and where a nativity scene can be used, this is the kind of stuff we need to have out there - outside of the church.

I spent another six years in Europe covering sporting events such as the Tour de France.

I'd like to do a television show that is encouraging, useful, and clean, and I'd like to go up against Entertainment Tonight and beat it.

I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong... to measure yourself at least once.

Still, the painful death of that unicorn had been satisfying to watch

Hate is a word that doesn't hurt but the word I love you hurts when taken advantage

It is only you, treading in the blessed path of peace and freedom, who can bring about the true regeneration of society, and with it the true happiness of your own lives.

It's really annoying when you're trying to get to know someone and she doesn't pay attention to you because she's obsessed with her phone.

To me, it's my job not to laugh, no matter what's said. By the time we shoot, I'm ready for all that's coming. I probably do most of my breaking in rehearsals, when I know that I can.

No sausage?" he asked. Apparently my pork consumption habits were a matter of public record.

When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.

The anxiety of fate is conquered by the self-affirmation of the individual as an infinitely significant microcosmic representation of the universe .

Most of my life is just spent lying in bed. I mean, it's enough pressure to write the words. Do I need to use the additional energy exerted by sitting up?
