“I can go into a playground of kids that don’t know anything about Christianity, lead them to the Lord in a matter of, just no time at all, and just moments later they can be seeing visions and hearing the voice of God, because they’re so open. They are so usable in Christianity.”

Harry Potter woulda been put to death! [Applause.] You don’t make heroes out of warlocks. This is the generation that’s gonna stand for purity, an’ righteousnesss, an’ holiness, an’ you’re gonna serve the lord all the days of your life.

Had it been in the Old Testament Harry Potter would have been put to death.

I want to see young people who as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as their young people are to the cause of Islam.

And while I’m on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. [Gravels her voice.] Warlocks are enemies of God!! [Back to normal screech.] And I don’t care what kind of hero they are, they’re an enemy of God. And had it been in the Old Testament.

Kids are not driving themselves to McDonalds. It’s not about kids and their choices. It’s about parents and their choices.

Stu Hart trained all his kids–only three of them use the litter box.

I’ve always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I’m an actor, but felt sorry for me because they’d never seen anything I’ve done.

It’s usually kids that normally don’t have a chance to get to meet each other because they’re separated by millions of different things.

There was an edge of, ‘Go away kid, you’re bothering me’. I’ve kicked myself a million times since. I could’ve discovered Whitney Houston.

I’m not a hero or a superstar. I’m an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.

Every kid I knew had a father with a little stash of men’s magazines which the father thought was secret and which the kid knew all about.

I am who I am: an Irish Catholic kid, working class from Long Island. And I made it big.
