Now for my own case I bless the Lord that for all that hath been said of me my conscience doth not condemn me. I do not say I am free of sin but I am at peace with God through a slain Mediator and I believe that there is no salvation but only in Christ.

Jesus Christ is a prince of peace. He told us to live in peace. He told us to love our enemies. He told us to do good to them that spitefully use us.

Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ's followers seem to disagree.

Christmas is not a time nor a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill to be plenteous in mercy is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

The Christian community latched onto a lot of my music because there were a lot of things about my struggle they related to. But I didn't really want to come out and be identified as a Christian because I didn't want to be a hypocrite because my life wasn't right.

Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

The earth has grown old with its burden of care but at Christmas it always is young the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair and its soul full of music breaks the air when the song of angels is sung.

I'm an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. He's somebody along with Vincent Price who I celebrate and I wanted my movies to show that celebration and that honoring of these great film stars that were unafraid to go into horror and Grand Guignol and the macabre.

I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do 'Evita.' I want to do 'Sweeney Todd' with Chris Colfer. We want to do 'Wicked.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.

What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.

I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain ' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine ' 'X Men ' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.

For me growing up Christmas time was always the most fantastic exciting time of year and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also maybe they were in collusion with Santa Claus.

This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.

I got up one Christmas morning and we didn't have nothing to eat. We didn't have an apple we didn't have an orange we didn't have a cake we didn't have nothing.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where I woke up Christmas morning and had toys. I know that's not the case with all people and I don't think kids should go without experiencing that sort of joy.

The two most joyous times of the year are Christmas morning and the end of school.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

There is a great difference between Christianity and religion at the south. If a man goes to the communion table and pays money into the treasury of the church no matter if it be the price of blood he is called religious.

My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.

I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.

I've changed my life in a lot of ways. I'm a mom a wife and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren't what I care to express right now.

Aretha Franklin was a teenage mom a musician who came from an incredibly Christian background but there was a lot of love which is really inspiring in a feminist way.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process the dirt of it the tears of it the frustration of it Christmas Easter birthdays growth charts pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

The new pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light but that of Christ.
