The Lord will remove the church but the Holy Spirit will still be working on planet Earth, bringing people into the kingdom.
The only way to experience an experience is to experience it
Few people think about this or are aware of it. But there is nothing made by human beings that does not involve a design decision somewhere.
If there's a simple, easy design principle that binds everything together, it's probably about starting with the people.
I don’t think that anyone has really told (people) what design is. It doesn’t occur to most people that everything is designed--that every building and everything they touch in the world is designed. Even foods are designed now. So in the process of helping people understand this, making them more aware of the fact that the world around us is something that somebody has control of, perhaps they can feel some sense of control, too. I think that’s a nice ambition.
If there is a simple, easy principle that binds everything I have done together, it is my interest in people and their relationship to things.
I like the concept of wearing in instead of wearing out.
When you make a record and have to go out on tour for it, you have to go out on tour for it. Whether it's going to be joyful or not, you have to do it.
Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact.
There is no greater joy for me than looking at the sky on a clear night with an attention so concentrated that all my other thoughts disappear; then one can think that the stars enter into one's soul.
I guess that is my favorite thing - to make people laugh and also to maybe engage them emotionally and touch them somehow in telling the story.
