Mark Burnett, Producer of The Bible,

On receiving inspiration from a higher calling to create ‘The Bible’:

"You have to get up and do some work when you're called."

On the success of 'The Bible':

"It's a God thing. Just because you're in the faith business, doesn't mean you get to create crappy product."

On discussing the making of The Bible Miniseries:

"We didn't want to tell you how to think about the bible -- we wanted you to feel it."

Referring to the series ‘The Bible’:

 "Do not underestimate this message, do NOT underestimate me."

On creating Faith Based Films:

"There is a market -- just keep praying.  Don't underestimate the power of prayer."
