When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!

It is hard as an actor when you are typecast at a really young age and come out of that pigeonhole thing.

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm not treating patients.

Modern secular thought has its own dualism: It treats only the physical world as knowable and testable, while locking everything else - mind, spirit, morality, meaning - into the realm of private, subjective feelings. The so-called fact/value split.

No ideology or psychological theory can possibly do justice to the full range of human experience.

God only wants for us what we would want for ourselves if we were smart enough to want it.

Unexpected wonders happen, not on schedule, or when you expect or want them to happen, but if you keep hanging around, they do happen.

To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.

Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants for me is only my deepest happiness.

Would you respect a God you could comprehend? And yet very often thatÂ's what we want - a God who reflects our culture, our biases, our economic, political, and military systems.

Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.
