I write plays, and I have a musical that's starting to get produced now. That's what I would love to do, but it's so hard. The only reason people are reading my plays and musicals is because I'm in movies.

I know there are people who don't like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated, but my audience has been very good - they don't bother me and when they do contact me it's usually on the nicest possible terms.

Jean Vanier

When possible make the decisions now, even if action is in the future. A reviewed decision usually is better than one reached at the last moment.

I might be celibate, but I appreciate the wonder of the sacrament of marriage.

To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention -- on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God -- that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying.

W. H. Auden

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.
