bible christian expectations
Once we truly grasp the message of the New Testament, it is impossible to read the Old Testament again without seeing Christ on every page, in every story, foreshadowed or anticipated in every event and narrative. The Bible must be read as a whole, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, letting promise and fulfillment guide or expectations for what we will find there.
couple character thinking
My favorite TV couple is Edith and Archie Bunker. Because they were such individuals that I can't imagine anyone else playing them. And I think that Archie was one of the greatest characters ever on television. Even with his flaws, you loved him.
listening curiosity answers
Curiosity and listening [are the principles to an excellent interview]. I never go into an interview with a dedicated list of questions in which I will not deviate. You must be curious about the subject and listen to his answer and ask the next question off that rather than the next question on your list.
las-vegas cities feelings
It's a corny old gag about Las Vegas, the temporal city if there ever was one, trying to camouflage the hours and retard the dawn, when everybody knows that if you're feeling lucky you're really feeling time in its rawest form, and if you're not feeling lucky, they've got a clock at the bus station.
omen
Maybe nothing's so unfunny as an omen read wrong.
raised promoting
I wasn't raised to be into promoting myself.
theme painter sculptors
This theme of bigness — all painters and sculptors have dealt with it ever since.
sculpture likes imagine
Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural.
mistake perfect people
None of us are perfect, and we all make mistakes. But the American people are a very forgiving people.
creative bigs big-movie
When you don't have much money, you get creative. There's so much money that gets wasted on big movie sets. But when you don't have much money, you improvise.
idols lennon
I only have one idol: John Lennon.
nice long decision
I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day.
helping-others artist soul
I've known the glory of the stage and the glory of the spotlight. I still crave it. I want to be on 'American Bandstand' and 'Soul Train' as a solo artist. As a producer, songwriter and arranger, I help other artists say what they want to say. But on my records, I say what I want to say.
rays all-time guitarist
Ray Gomez is one of the greatest guitarists of all times!
