I thought it was time to jump into that Hollywood mainstream and see what the temperature was. And it was warmer than I expected.

When I did get home this last time, we had all these plans to go out. And then we hardly stepped outside because the time together seemed too precious.

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

We thought that instead of taking this to Hollywood, how about taking Hollywood to the churches? When we looked at the technology, you can have a great screening with digital projectors and surround sound. You don't need a movie theater. So we started asking people and screening the movie for pastors, and after they saw it and wiped away a tear, they said they would love to show it to their congregations.

I never thought I'd be part of a Hollywood movie. I have mixed feelings. ... I'm very happy for Marshall's sake. It's a story that needed to be told.
