Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something.

If we hear, in our inner ear, a voice saying we are failures, we are losers, we will never amount to anything, this is the voice of Satan trying to convince the bride that the groom does not love her. This is not the voice of God. God woos us with kindness. He changes out of character with the passion of his love.

If you have a beautiful story, it has to have conflict. If you don't have conflict, it can't be a good story.

Sometimes the story we're telling the world isn't half as endearing as the one that lives inside us.

I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.

Every creative person, and I think probably every other person, faces resistance when they are trying to create something good...The harder the resistance, the more important the task must be.
