Yeah, Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be.

Biblical movies need not sermonize, just be honest to the foundational story. As powerful as the message is for people of faith, it's really great storytelling.

From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.

I don't like to consider myself a normal preacher. When you look at religious people, they're the ones who hung Christ from the cross. I look at myself as a man carrying a message of hope.

A bad sermon is like a car wreck - everyone slows down to see what happened.

The world looks at preachers out of church to know what they mean in it.

Preacher's kids usually go one way or the other - way wild, or they follow in their dad's footsteps.

I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.

Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.

And I found both literature and the church very dramatic presences in the world of the 1950s.
