Only the most unapologetic biblical fundamentalists, for instance, take every biblical injunction literally.

Jon Meacham

Women, Jesus, Same

Jon Meacham

Simple, Human, Fire

Danica McKellar

Same, Put, Away

I'm really proud of Twilight. I think it's a good movie. It was hard to do, and I think it turned out pretty good. But I don't take much credit for it.

Good, Hard, Pretty
