“I think as humans we are hardwired for a couple of things. One of those is community, only second to God. Relationship with God and community with each other. And when those two things seem to be compromised in society, the spirit starts to rebel against that and try to figure out how to put that back in its right order.”

“We're so used to Christmas being absconded by commercial endeavors and consumerism and all of those aspects of the holiday that have culturally overshadowed the meaning of Christmas and the spirit behind Christmas and what Christmas actually is about.”

“The only thing you need is Jesus.”

“I think I want people to be more aware of the sacrifices that so many Christians, give, especially in other parts of the world.”

“I think when people focus on God and not on the differences that they perceive between their version or their understanding of God, and another denominational or non-denominational or even faith understanding of God. When you when you get those out of the way, when you can just focus on God, you realize we're all here trying to do the same thing.”

“Speaking at The Catholic University of America's commencement is such an honor because I will be among those who not only value a quality education but a college experience formed by the Catholic faith.”

“As an actor, I have to kind of be careful not to sort of telegraph too much, because I'm then also then not present. So as long as I'm present, everybody knows - I don't have to fill in the audience's minds with what's going to happen; they already fill that in.”

“The more time you spend with Jesus and His words, and His ministry, and the people that were impacted by His ministry, the more unavoidably shaken your soul is by His words, by His life, by His example.”

“I think in Hollywood especially, people are kind of nervous about talking about their faith in a business setting. I never was.”

“I've had that conversation with God - not feeling worthy.”

“I don't believe that my destiny is who is in the hands of men, whether they control the industry or not. That's not who governs my life. God governs my life. So, anything that happens to me is something that God has either allowed or disallowed. So I just continue to trust in whatever happens that he's got my back.”

“I try not to think too much about the future, because then it takes me out of the present.”

“People have these deep conversations, or they go from believing to not believing in something, or just wanting to know more about Jesus. All that stuff - this supernatural stuff - is not up to us.”

“To know that so many people are eager to connect with God, to deepen their relationship, and improve their prayer life is just music to my ears.”

“I think we've reached a point now in culture where seeing depictions and images of Satan and Satanism and demons and witchcraft and the symbols related to the occult are so frequent and regular that it's so easy to become desensitized.”

“My willingness to talk about my faith has not diminished anything. It's only improved everything.”

“I tend to do a lot of praying, kind of like when Jesus was overwhelmed and at the end of a long day, He would go off by Himself and go on a boat or just go up to a mountain and talk to the Father. I find myself doing that often.”

“The Last Supper means so much, very specifically to me and my faith.”

“The point was that I committed to not having control over it anymore. And when I did that, I think that's the thing that changed for me. My life, from that moment, has never been the same.”

“For me, I've just gone much deeper into my prayer life; I've gone deeper into my own faith.”
