Quotes

  • I've always loved acting, maybe even from the womb. From the time I was a little kid, I was putting on shows in my living room. It was always in my blood-though neither of my parents were involved in the industry, so it was new to them.
  • "Faith-based movies" is kind of a dirty word in Hollywood, but it shouldn't be. I would love for that label to go away, to be honest, because it boxes your film into one audience. It doesn't allow your film to reach people who don't normally go to these films.
  • I believe there are miracles every single day. Look around-from grabbing somebody who's about to step in front of a car, to making a connection with a homeless person on the street. These are miracles of love, and people need to expand their idea of what a miracle is.
