There really are three types of religious movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.

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

I have a lot of frustration with religion, organized religion, because it's man-made, because it's man-regulated. And it has nothing to do with my relationship with God.

I'm pretty squeaky clean. No big tragedies in my childhood or adolescence or adulthood. I've had a very easygoing, simple life.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.

It's terrifying to be the lead. There's a moment of excitement, and then pure terror.
