Pray for your mate. Ask God to soften your heart and show you ways to be a better spouse.

When I was growing up, I didn’t know there was a world outside of California.

If there’s comfort involved, it’s probably not for me.

The girl I was dating heard this preacher on the radio, and she thought his message was something I should hear. I thought, Great, a preacher. Just what I need.

When you’re in that scene, you really wonder if this is all you’re ever going to be. You know how vile and filthy you are inside.

I think there are people that have very addictive personalities.

I don’t think you need to go looking for the enemy. He’s going to look for you.

When you’re a celebrity, people think they know you, but they don’t have a clue.

No matter how I might feel about myself or my self-image, there is still a part of me that wants to fight to the end.

My pastor said, Just because you were a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re supposed to be a celebrity now.

When you’re 19 years old, you make $1 million a year, you’ve dated all the coolest people on earth, you’ve hung out with the coolest people on earth.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn’t come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ.

I wanted to leave ‘Eight Is Enough’ for the Navy.

Nobody makes me laugh like my wife.

I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.

I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.

I get scared to death when I see people who say they’ve found Jesus Christ, and they’re out there, and I wonder, who’s teaching them? Who’s mentoring them?

I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That’s not my family’s fault; it was my perception.

Since I was 9, I’d been told what to say, what to think.

I didn’t become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted.

I didn’t want to be the typical teen idol. I didn’t want to be Leif Garrett. I didn’t want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.

God gives me the children’s ministry heart and patience. This is what He wants. It’s awesome. I don’t know where He’s gonna take it – but God is building this thing.

‘Give up… it’s time to quit,’ I don’t think I’ve ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.

I’m cleaning toilets for $30 a day, because I needed that $30, and people are pointing at me, saying, Look at the big movie star. Look where he is now. I just said, I’m where...

There is no other person on the face of this planet that I would rather sit and talk to than my wife.

I lived to make Scott Baio laugh.

I had never really pictured myself working in children’s ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.

Being stubborn can be a good thing. Being stubborn can be a bad thing. It just depends on how you use it.

We produce programs that honor God and impact our world.

Cruise director is – I always laugh and say, ‘He’s the ship’s liver,’ because almost everything you can think of filters through you at some point.

This is an exact replica of my chest.

I remember thinking, That’s what I need – and that hope was in Jesus Christ.

When somebody comes to your front door, and they’re screaming obscenities at you and telling you to come outside, and you’ve had your life threatened several times, you take it pretty seriously. It’s the reason...

I started running away when I was five years old. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized what I really wanted was somebody to come after me when I was running away.

Everything can change. You can always have hope.

I’ve watched a lot of my friends die, everyone from John Belushi, River Phoenix to Chris Farley. It just keeps going on and on.

This is not what I would have chosen. But I have a heart to be obedient.

I suppose what’s unique about our presentation is the amount of Scripture that kids get.

I never dreamed I would want to be or become a financial advisor.

When you go through a traumatic event, there’s a lot of shame that comes with that. A lot of loss of self-esteem. That can become debilitating.

Hollywood has always been good to me. I’ve never blamed Hollywood for my problems.

I got married at a very young age, and of course, for all the wrong reasons, and ended up divorced and lost everything. It was a very difficult time in my life.

This show has been a major revitalization of my family life and personal life. It gave my family an avenue to speak to me honestly.

I’ve always been pretty tough in that way, where if you tell me I can’t do something, I will prove you wrong.

I never learned to study in studio school, so I had to teach myself to study.

I never thought of myself as handsome.

I always felt as though, ‘If nothing else, I have a successful marriage.’

I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down...

We’re seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.

My wife bought an extra life insurance policy on me.
