Commit to a career built on sacrifice, not compromise.

God has an extraordinary destiny in mind for you, as he does for all of us. God will never bring you an opportunity before you're ready to make the most of it, and the career world demands that you prove yourself. So, before you can lead, you have to serve. Service often has a negative connotation. We want to be the one at the top, calling the shots, making the decisions, and getting the glory.

You know, I think people underestimate how miraculous getting a movie made is.

Don't abandon what makes you who you are. Don't give up hope.

Yeah, I look at the box office as an indication as how many lives that you've touched, so my hope is touch as many lives as possible.

I define success as a deep sense of peace, and we find the most peace when we live out our true calling and fulfill the purpose we were created for. History is filled with examples of people who had an abundance of material possessions but no peace because no matter how much stuff you have, there's not enough money in the world to fill the hole in your soul.

I can look at something that others (might not) and I can see the value in it. I can make that film a film that everybody wants to see.
