No one's life is totally morbid. Even on a subtle scale there's little flashes of enlightenment and of happiness and joy.

I think kids growing up, if they were picked on and feeling inferior at 12, they're going to feel that way at 72. You just deal with it better. I'm serious.

The more I go to church and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus and listening to His Word and having Him guide my hand, I feel as though the pressure is off me now.

Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.

If you look at people that have survived crashing in the mountains and lived up in the snow for 40 days - it's possible to do extraordinary feats.

To know that the odds are so high that only through the perishing of your life will the minions survive, that's love. That's heroism.
