I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!

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.

When people come and see me, I want them to experience joy. I don't do any sad songs in my show. It's to lift the spirit.

I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.

I don't want to be a part of something I don't want to watch.

I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.

I just am committed wholeheartedly to theatre with no intermission.
