“I wasn’t allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.”

I’ve been fortunate. I don’t pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

Don’t be afraid to learn from others mistakes, and take bits of useful information or ideas that help you get better at what you do.

One good thing about acting in film is that it’s good therapy.

Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.

When you do good, you get good!

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.

I’ve worked with children all my life.

Learn to laugh at your failures, smile at your wins and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.

The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have. That’s what’s going to define you.

Wisdom is there at your fingertips, use it.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

Never confuse movement with progress. Because you can run in place and not get anywhere.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.

If religious instruction were not allowed until the child had attained the age of reason, we would be living in a quite different world.

Maybe we don’t put our young people in situations often enough where they’re allowed to fail. When you fail you gain experience, and with enough experience, you don’t fail as often.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

Life is very, very complicated, and so films should be allowed to be, too.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

One day it’s all going to be clear. It’s all going to make sense. You’re going to be able to say, “So that’s why God allowed that in my life!” Until then, God wants you to trust him.

I’m not allowed to get a big head, I’ve still got to do the simple things in life.

Just for today, let yourself be human.
