“Many people allow their need for other people’s approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.”

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.

The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.

You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.

Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face.

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

If your activities don’t match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

Worship isn’t an event to attend & watch. It’s a lifestyle to be lived.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It’s a journey of discovery – there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God.

No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

You’ve got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that’s difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can’t hand over. But I’m trying to do that more.

The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.

I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.

Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can’t control or change.

I can’t run a company… I can’t even run my own life!

There’s an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.
