Richard Rossi quotes:

Hollywood is more forgiving than the church

You can pray just like anyone else. The gifts of the Spirit belong to the Holy Spirit. You have this inside you by faith and can be a conduit.

If you order a milkshake at a diner and they mix dog poop into it, you probably wouldn't drink it. If you go into a town with pollution, you may survive and have a good visit, but you risk being poisoned.

I'm going to publicly challenge the biggest names in religion to repent and give back the money they've ripped off from the poor.

I'm open to the gifts of the Spirit. The real healings are so beautiful I hate to see it blasphemed by fakes who merchandise the gifts.

My films are about faith, and they're made on faith. There has to be faith because making a movie, so many things can go wrong.

Watch out for those who put themselves above you. The real ones point to Christ in you.
