“Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like...” — Tullian Tchividjian Quote

Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.

The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.

The Bible makes it clear that self-righteousness is the premier enemy of the Gospel.

God loves us too much to leave us in the hell of unhappiness that comes from trying to do his job. Into the slavish misery of our ladder-defined lives, God condescends.

I believe God is a poet; every religion in our history was made of poems and songs, and not a few of them had books attached.

My basic philosophy is never do anything with the word 'celebrity' attached to it. Without being overly pompous, if you have worked hard to have an audience trust you a bit, why blow it? That is my currency.

I try really hard not to be attached to success.

Don't get attached to any one idea. Nothing is too precious.

If it's the right role, yes, of course, I would shave my head, but I don't know what role that would be. I'm still very attached to the hair.
