I'll just bleed so the stars can have something dark to shine in
The stunt guys are absolutely brilliant, but all this stuff [a scene] always looks better when you do it yourself.
I need something different [roles], always something just slightly different, that pushes you and challenges you.
I suppose theres an anger in all of us. Some hidden rage that you keep at bay.
You're taking big risks doing comedy, because ultimately, you're trying to be funny. If you're not funny, you look like an idiot. You have to be prepared to look like an idiot, so you need to have confidence in the man at the helm of it all. You have to take a massive leap of faith and be daring and bold with your choices.

Ah, afflicted one, your disabilities were meant to unite with God's enablings, your weakness to mate His power. God's grace is at hand -sufficent-- and at its best when human weakness is most profound.

God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (sin boldly), but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
