My Dinner with Andre

From Andre Gregory’s autobiography, “Let me point out that I was not, at that point in my life, a spiritual man. I had no interest in spiritual books. I considered myself an agnostic. I was like Saul of Tarsus, a businessman in his way to Damascus when he saw Christ. Saul’s life was changed forever: He became Paul. The businessman became the apostle. I know that what I’m about to say will, to some, seem far-fetched and unbelievable, just as I find it far-fetched that an image shot thousands of miles away can appear instantly on my television, that I can talk into a glass tablet and letters will appear on the face of the tablet. My story would not seem unbelievable to Teresa of Avila, though. Some believe in the miraculous, and others simply don’t. Some stay rooted, feet on the ground, and some adventure and pursue the invisible. In My Dinner With Andre, there is an Andre who believes and a Wally who never will. The film needs both to exist. Probably we all do.”
