The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.

At the end of the day, when I am lying in bed and I know the chances of any of our theology being exactly right are a million to one, I need to know that God has things figured out, that if my math is wrong we are still going to be okay. And wonder is that feeling we get when we let go of our silly answers, our mapped out rules that we want God to follow. I don't think there is any better worship than wonder.

It is no coincidence that Jesus talks endlessly about love. Free love. Unconditional love.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

I think writers would do better to consider that idea [to write to yourself], because you know yourself really well, and you never know your demographic fully. You only get into trouble if you try to please somebody you don't really understand.

Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.

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