“You are as close to God as you choose to be.”

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.

Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you – to pray more, trust more, expect more.

Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.

Prayer is the greatest use of my words.

You don’t have to be famous to be great.

To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.

The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.

We become whatever we are committed to.

People behave according to their personality, perspective and mood. It’s their choice.

There’s power in choosing to be loved.

It’s the failure of my debut film which made me an actor, which made me want to succeed in the industry. But that doesn’t mean I regret whatever choices I’ve made over the years. No, not even ‘Kaiyethum Doorathu!’

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.
