I just find the people I want to work with and put it all together, and it’s a lot of hard work, and all kinds of catastrophes happen, but I don’t really get too much resistance. But when you make a movie, it seems like there’s nothing but resistance. It’s kind of a miracle that any movie ever gets made.
My mother is a walking miracle.
I’m not a normal person with normal tastebuds, so I’ll save you all from cringing/dissing on my late night flavour pairings, but I will say when I was a kid, with little to no access to anything but my mother’s pantry, I’d dip everything in ranch dressing, Miracle Whip, katsup, barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, etc.
I’ve been working on the new Miracle Mop for many years.

I have to be very humble. I know that anything I do is through God. Through me, God can make a miracle. The most you can do is to think and create all love, all grace, all power, all health. When you do that, amazing things can happen. But the day I think that I’m doing a miracle myself is a foolish day for me.

Imagine if all those kings and dukes hadn’t commissioned those crazy cathedrals, paintings and music… we’d still be living in sticks and mud. Because none of those things made any economic sense. Human beings’ capacity to ‘waste time’ is a miracle – but that’s exactly what art is for.
The Miracle Mop created an entirely new category of stick goods – the twist mop. And when I demonstrated it for people, they’d invariably say, ‘I have to have that.’
Anything that happens in film industry is a miracle.

‘Miracle at St. Anna.’ I was challenged by Spike Lee. When he offered me the film, he looked me square in the eye and said, ‘You start this film off and you end this film. I don’t want a dry eye in the theatre. Can you pull that off?’ He was dead serious.
The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That’s the thrill of it, the miracle – that’s what holds us to movies forever. It’s what we wish we could do in real life.

I remember joining a boarding school in the sixth grade. I was lazy, complacent, and fat. Suddenly, I realised that I had to fend for myself. That’s when I discovered this drive within myself.

Acting is the most insecure profession in the world – you’re insecure if you’re successful, you’re insecure if you’re not. A tightrope walk without a net. It’s a miracle I’m still standing!
I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose.

As barbaric is we are, it’s a miracle we haven’t blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.

People can’t do miracles and are not responsible to do miracles, but people can pick up miracles from God and hand it to another person – a miracle happens when that occurs.

I think ‘Miracle’s Boys’ made more people aware of my work.
A freshly pressed suit is a miracle when you’re travelling. When your suitcase has turned all your clothes into creased rags, and you’ve crossed so many time zones that you can’t tell a Monday from a Thursday, putting on a freshly pressed suit for breakfast is like spending a week in a spa.
After being raised as an evangelical Christian, I for years assumed that Christianity was the default – there were Christians, and then there were weirdos.
