On Baton Rouge:

“The city was shocked and rocked. Our little sleepy town all of a sudden had such tragedy.”

The dirt that Greenleaf exposes:

“It’s not as much mess in the church, it’s the family. They are an esteemed, affluent family. We’re not preaching, we’re just take a human look at what it could be.”
