Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

Whether youre making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, theres never enough time.

Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.

I bet you could look at every single thing I've ever done and reduce it to that parenting schematic.

We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety, it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.
