Preach not because you have to say something, but because you have something to say.

I don't feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience's ability to feel me.

I don't preach or try to impress my views upon people.

I don't want to preach to people.

Preaching on Sunday mornings is such a simple thing, and by complicating it, I think we all do ourselves and the audience a disservice. It is very simple. Here is the model: Make people feel like they need an answer to a question.

I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do.

When I teach, I preach. I thump the Bible. I exhort my students morally. I talk to them about the dedicated life.

My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.

When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices.

I can only speak for myself, and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And, hopefully, they'll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day, I just want my work to speak for itself.
