That was never my intention to compete with the Oscars.

Hollywood is full of very liberal people, but it still has an infrastructure that needs to be broken.

...if we are open and we prepare for promoting dialogue and love, and a better understanding of each other, and tolerance and so forth, that's what the world will become, a more tolerant, loving place.

Anyone whose mission is keeping people apart is swimming against a very strong tide.

I can't pay my [bills]. I can't go to work. My car is out of gas.

They're lacking culture in Hollywood. That gives me a big up, right? I know something about pop culture.

The pain that's created by avoiding hard work is actually much worse than any pain created from the actual work itself. Because if you don't begin to work on those ideas that God has blessed you with, they will become stagnant inside of you and eventually begin to eat away at you. You might seem OK on the outside, but inside you will be ill from not getting those ideas out of your heart and into the world. Stalling leads to sickness. But taking steps, even baby steps, always leads to success.
