"Religious tolerance is something we should all practice; however, there have been more persecution and atrocities committed in the name of religion and religious freedom than anything else."
"Movies can be effective in influencing people to think in ways they might not otherwise be exposed to. Social commentary in films is most effective when you're not aware of a soapbox. Making the point without force-feeding the audience is the most desirable approach."
"I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play."
"Well, an actor is an actor is actor, to paraphrase someone or other and the opportunity to work, to have a steady engagement, certainly seemed like an appealing concept to me."

STORYLINE
ANDREW KOENIG FOUND DEAD
Former "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig was found dead on Thursday (25 FEB 2010) in a wooded area of a sprawling downtown park in Vancouver, Canada, where he enjoyed spending time, apparently after committing suicide.
The actor''s father, Walter Koenig, said "my son took his own life."
Walter Koenig said his son was obviously in a lot of pain, referring his son''s lifelong depression.
Constable Janna McGuiness, speaking at a news conference at the park, said foul play was not involved, but said she could not be more specific because the coroner was conducting an investigation.
Andrew Koenig, 41, had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Richard "Boner" Stabone, a pal of star Kirk Cameron''s character, Mike.
The native of Venice, California, hadn''t been seen since February 14, while visiting friends in Vancouver.
He was supposed to return home two days later.
His parents reported him missing February 18, then asked the public for help finding him a few days later.
On Tuesday, Vancouver police and three search-and-rescue teams looked for any signs of Koenig throughout Stanley Park, which covers more than 1,000 acres (400 hectares).
Friends and family decided to try again on their own on Thursday and one of them found Koenig''s body near a marsh in a heavily wooded area about 100 feet (30 metres) off the Bridle Path. McGuinness said the body could not be seen from the walking path.
The elder Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek" TV series, was nearby when the body was found.
Hours later, Koenig and his wife, Judith, issued the statement at a police station in the park.
They said Andrew had been depressed, and had said earlier that he had given away his belongings and had been off his medication.
They urged others who are having trouble coping to seek help.
"If you are one of those people who can''t handle it any more, know people are out there who really care before you make that final decision," Walter Koenig said. "Talk to somebody."
Koenig had said that his son had cleaned out his apartment in Los Angeles, a city where he felt he didn''t belong.
