My work is never perfect. It always can be better but I just believe that we need to achieve a really high level of excellence. I don't believe in the "Good Enough" principle as a Christian.
I grew up in church and it's always been important to me. I've always had a sense of calling to do life and faith-affirming media.
"His words moved people closer to God." I'd be happy if that's what people said about me at the end of the day. It's always been my calling.
I've always felt very convicted that I didn't want to work in kind of the Christian film-making ghetto. My calling was always to show myself approved and worthy to work at the highest level possible in terms of craft and working with very gifted people and trying to be excellent in everything.
I was a writer since I was a little kid. It just always sort of fit for me.
I'm not Michelangelo but I would like to be that. I'll never be him but I'm trying to strive to do that in my work.
