drama passion character
Well, if you look at the whole story, I mean there's only Jews and Romans in the story. I mean I just wanted to flesh that character out and make that a drama about the people around Christ when he was going through this passion.
apology night thinking
There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge.
family children home
A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there's a secure family atmosphere.
writing gigs scripts
Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.
scary-stories people want
People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.
stronger bitter i-have-learned
I have learned that a bitter experience can make you stronger.
problem
I could easily not act again. It's not a problem.
disappointment sacrifice joy
Life is life, and one has experiences that are painful and some that are very pleasant, and one has reward and sacrifice and more reward and disappointment and joy and happiness, and it's always going to be the same.
liars lying blessed
A guy said to me one time, something really profound, and it's so simple. It's that depression lies. It's a liar and you have to shut it down. There is nothing that alleviates it more than going out and doing something for someone else. It's almost like instant healing. Get away from yourself. People can't even get out of bed and it gets really severe. I've never been at that stage. Everyone goes through low and high and low and high and some people are blessed to be created on an even keel all the way through - but not me.
vain
I'm as vain as the next guy. I have a facade on right now. But you can't see it, because it's reality-based.
answer best damn exactly feels job male maybe sounds sure throwing
Acting feels different. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but it used to mean a lot more. Maybe that sounds like I'm throwing it away and I'm not, I'll still do the best damn job I can, but it doesn't mean the same thing. I'm going to get the answer for myself one of these days. It's the male menopause, that's what it is.
biggest excessive weakness
My biggest weakness is that I'm excessive. Fortunately for everyone concerned, I'm not as excessive as I used to be.
heal hit horrible
When you get to that point where you don't want to live, and you don't want to die, it's a desperate, horrible place to be. And I just hit my knees. And I had to use 'The Passion of the Christ' to heal my wounds.
life pleasant season somehow whether
Life's experiences, whether they be pleasant or unpleasant, torturous or excruciatingly wonderful and blissful, you know, season you somehow and you learn from them.
