The Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. I believe that. Because I've seen it all work.
I knew that love was around. I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth.
I haven't had a worst business decision, because I believe all things work together for good.
I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not.
Don't believe the hype. I don't care how many number ones you have at the box office, I don't care how much they say you're great, don't believe it. Just stay in your lane and do what you're supposed to do.

There are a lot of people who have dreams, goals, and hopes, but there aren't a lot who get to see them realized.

What is important to me about this movie is that the stories and messages are for anyone. Anyone who needs to learn about forgiveness will enjoy it no matter who they are.
My first show was called 'I Know I've Been Changed' in '92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, 'What is this about?'
You don't try to do anything that Morgan Freeman does. He was the voice of God in a movie. That's Morgan Freeman!
My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
