I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.

I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down the street where it may affect them, but not to the same extent.

I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.

I think that in the Christian community, we're lacking a lot of things, and I don't know that it's just children's role models.

I had a lot of growing and a lot of denying of self to do. I am not easily won over, but when I am, I am completely won over.

There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don't deserve that kind of grace. I don't deserve that break.

Being stubborn can be a good thing. Being stubborn can be a bad thing. It just depends on how you use it.
