The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.

And to me fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you but it's not real. And it's totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.

It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish. My family has great storytellers and I grew up in a very funny conversational house and didn't have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didn't have much to do with reality.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life right?

My family was my guide to my reality.

All of us grow up in particular realities - a home family a clan a small town a neighborhood. Depending upon how we're brought up we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born or we are peripherally aware of it.

Faith is the response to something which is calling us from the timeless part of our reality.

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.

I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So if we believe in something enough. And we have faith we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life.

True faith is belief in the reality of absolute values.
