In case you didn't know, John Owen has been dead since 1683 so he isn't really 'interviewable' (as my title might suggest). But Stephen Altrogge, "thanks to modern technology (books), ...recently had the privilege of hanging in Starbuck’s with that great puritan, John Owen.... (Note: All of this was paraphrased from the John Owen book Temptation and Sin)". Read the full 'interview' here--it's part one so there's more to follow.
Also, I recently subscribed to the RSS Feed at The Blazing Center (the blog where this article is found) and would definitely recommend doing so!

Dependent Responsibility
"We are responsible before God to obey His Word, to put to death the sins in our lives.... At the same time, we do not have the ability within ourselves to carry out this responsibility. We are in fact totally dependent upon the enabling power of the Holy Spirit... we are both responsible and dependent." ~Jerry Bridges, Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate

Evil
"Evil is when we believe that God will not satisfy us and therefore pursue happiness in transient things. That’s the essence of sin." ~Jon Bloom, (Jesus and Buddha on Happiness)
