I am frustrated at misconceptions of me, and being cast in a role.

I'm not the kind of guy who can be sitting around listening to Joni Mitchell, chilling. I'd rather bash my head against a wall.

A lot of people say I am different from other actors and actresses because I don't mix around with a lot of filmy crowd.

Rules and models destroy genius and art.

Our culture is in moral chaos. On TV we celebrate freaks instead of honest, decent people.

One sees in Latin America, and also elsewhere, among many Catholics a certain schizophrenia between individual and public morality.

Probably the No. 1 most important thing in my music is not to sound like anyone else. It is hard in this day and age.

Scripture makes it clear that these responses are not forced upon us by the pressures of the situation. What I do comes from inside me. The things that happen to me will influence my responses but never determine them. Rather, these responses flow out of the thoughts and motives of my heart.

None of us ever gets to be in relationship with a finished person. God's redemptive work of change is ongoing in all our lives.

Whenever you believe that the evil outside you is greater than the evil inside you, a heartfelt pursuit of Christ will be replaced by a zealous fighting of the "evil" around you. A celebration of the grace that rescues you from your own sin will be replaced by a crusade to rescue the church from the ills of the surrounding culture. Christian maturity becomes defined as a willingness to defend right from wrong. The gospel is reduced to participation in Christian causes.

Say make me, remake me. You are free to do it and I am free to let you because look, look. Look where your hands are. Now.

I want to feel what I feel. What's mine. Even if it's not happiness, whatever that means. Because you're all you've got.
