A Quote by Frank Peretti

But I always knew that the people were going to be coming to hear his music of which my words are going to be a part.

The thing that I think a director has to have in order to make a movie really work, and to certainly make a film that feels personal, is that you have to have a sense of the feeling that you want to create in people, the tone which you want to tell the story, and the basic themes you want to come out. You can't compromise on those because you are then not making the movie that you are going to be good at telling.

You can't compromise on those because you are then not making the movie that you are going to be good at telling.
