Quotes from Kirk Cameron

One thing I thought was really cool is that we got a fax machine in our house to have scripts sent to us ahead of time! Okay, it's not a big deal now, but in the days before cell phones and email, only the fanciest offices had these special machines.

I was really glad when my former crush, Tracey, joined the show. She looked a lot like my sisters and it wasn't long before I started treating her like one.

I first met Tracey Gold when we played brother and sister in a McDonald's commercial. We met again in the made-for-television movie Beyond Witch Mountain. Later she played a cheerleader while I played a football star in the Robin Williams/Kurt Russell film The Best of Times. She was cute, she was good and she was always working on something. I had a bit of a crush on her at the time—which probably sounds a bit creepy to the rest of the world who think of us as siblings.

Every tape day, the cast and crew waited eagerly for my mom's special chocolate-chip cookies. They melted in your mouth—they were "like buttah" (which makes sense, as that was a main ingredient). Mom made dozens and dozens of them to make sure there were always enough to go around. I think she made 38 dozen a week as a thank-you for all the hard work the crew did.

As a little girl, Mom had a simple faith in God, which began in church and shaped many of her values and decisions. When she married Dad, she presumed they would go to church as a family—but Dad had other ideas. He didn't want his kids being corralled into any particular religion. He insisted his kids be able to make up their own minds when they were older, so he adamantly refused to let us attend even Sunday school. So Mom kept quiet and prayed in the simple way she knew how.

The real maddening thing I learned later was that when Dad was supposedly punishing Candace, he'd go in there, snapping his belt. But when the door closed behind him, he'd slap the belt on the bed while Candace yelped like she'd gotten spanked. You never saw a performance like that from her on Full House.

I knew that in religious homes, Jesus had something to do with Christmas, but wasn't sure how He was connected to it. Was He a special carpenter in Santa's village? One year I got a BB gun as a gift. I practiced shooting soda cans and empty furniture boxes, but that got boring. I decided I needed to try my skills on a moving target. I'm sorry to say, I shot the neighbor's cat in the leg. The vet bill came and my BB gun went.

Atheism has been on the rise for years now, and the Bible of the atheists is 'The Origin of Species.'

If America is a ship, it looks a lot like it's sinking - financially, morally, spiritually. It's frightening.

To say anything negative about Stephen Hawking is like bullying a blind man. He has an unfair disadvantage, and that gives him a free pass on some of his absurd ideas.

If my kids came to me and said, 'I'm gay,' I'd say, 'Son, I love you.' That's never at stake. Never, never, never at stake.

For me, my family and my faith have been what's really been my anchor, and grounding me, and helping me navigate through a lot of the things that really destroy marriages in Hollywood, and in your own personal integrity.

Culture changes because of musicians and actors and actresses. There's a responsibility there. You may ignore the responsibility. You may choose to be a bad role model. But, you are a role model nonetheless.

If we want a great future in this world, we have to take God at his word, and God makes it really clear that society and civilization is held together by the glue of families... This is where the next generation of human beings are incubated and nurtured and matured - in homes. In families.

For so many years, I've been an actor acting in other people's movies, and in 'Unstoppable,' I'm producing it, and I have an opportunity to create some of that excitement with style and form and different color templates and things like that. So, as an artist, it's really exciting.

Once I realized the emptiness of life apart from knowing God, when I embraced God and the truth of the gospel and the truth of the Bible, it was a no-brainer decision to see that that was a treasure that was infinitely more valuable than some sort of an atheistic Hollywood party life.

Jesus did not get stuck in intellectual arguments with people. He did not go for the intellect; He went for the conscience. He spoke to that part of the person that knows the difference between right and wrong instinctively.

I love all people; I hate no one.

Let's put Christ back into Christmas.

If you had the cure to cancer wouldn't you share it? .. You have the cure to death .. get out there and share it.

I never had a desire to leave mainstream Hollywood. And still don't think that I've left mainstream Hollywood.

I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sister.

Jesus first of all, loves His Father in heaven and would never compromise the message that sinners must be delivered or be damned. That is the reason Jesus came to earth-to save sinners.
