I don't know how people pray who don't believe in the sovereignty of God to do the impossible. Because all the things I want to happen are impossible. If they're possible I'll do them.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.

I want to put a ding in the universe.

It's not just about acting. I love film, I'm a director now, I love writing, I love producing, I love having a company that makes films and to be prolific and have a place to put all the ideas that are constantly bubbling up inside of me and that don't let me sleep at night.

In a season, you're going to go through slumps.

I feel like it's harder to perform in front of a smaller crowd sometimes still than it is a larger crowd.

I'd be absolutely happy to go back and make a smaller picture. I never want my choices to be dictated by budget. That's one of the reasons why I take so much pride in being able to make films for $2 and a paper clip - because I can always get my hands on $2 and a paper clip. I never have to ask for permission for that.

That's not the way I think, 'I'm the smallest guy on the field, I have to go out there and do this and do that.' I just go out there and play.

There are so many people who would like to see me not make it in Nashville. But that's good motivation.

'X Factor' was the best experience of my life to be part of a show watched by so many people.

We might also call vertigo the intoxication of the weak. Aware of his weakness, a man decides to give in rather than stand up to it. He is drunk with weakness, wishes to grow even weaker, wishes to fall down in the middle of the main square in front of everybody, wishes to be down, lower than down.
