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

Not only is your story your truth, your story is going to be the platform and the foundation for everything that's getting ready to happen in your life.

Commit to a career built on sacrifice, not compromise.

What if you are just one bend in the road away from achieving your God-ordained purpose? If you give up on your faith now, could you live with knowing that your chance of a lifetime was only one act of faith away?

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.

Don't take shortcuts; if I want to be true to my beliefs, then shortcuts do not exist.

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.
