I don't think that growing up in the entertainment industry is the healthiest place for kids. The track record kind of shows that.

I think my biggest problem was, as a celebrity on a TV show, you get an inflated ego and you think you're the center of the universe.

I believe the Scriptures teach that there's a literal heaven and a literal hell, just like Jesus said. And without forgiveness of sins that, yeah, the place of punishment is called hell.

America is a beacon of hope for the world. And yet we are in so much trouble.

I've never seen any ghost, but I definitely believe that there's some sort of something spiritual out there. I mean, there has to be.

Every now and then I'll do little things, a short story or something, that doesn't have any fantastical elements, but mostly I like the power of playing God and I like to imagine things.

Somehow we got used to death, and then we dehumanised it. We account for conflicts in figures. Ebola is 13,500 infected, 5,000 people have died... People are losing their sense of empathy, their sense of wanting to do something.

Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
