When you start out, you're hungry to take any job. I didn't go to film school - I went from high school to a show about high school and on to directing.

I lost my mom to cancer when I was a kid.

You know people love a show when they keep coming back.

I'm still nervous before I start any episode. I never feel completely secure, and I love that.

When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. It's a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It's a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification.

When I was in meditation, God began to speak to me, and God said, 'Roland, I have enough preachers. I need people where you are in your positions. When you are on radio, when you are on television, you speak into more people in the five minutes than some preachers speak to in an entire year.'

Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.

If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it.
