Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.

I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.

If it all just happened overnight, you would never learn to believe in what you cannot see.

Somebody who has been in a very bad wreck is going to be very conscientious about not speeding through a yellow light... You just learn so many good lessons when you go through a failed marriage.

If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore 10 or 15 years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well.

I know how it feels to go into a studio to start a record, and eight weeks later it's finished. I know how an intense schedule feels.

To me, it's all about the song. Songs are what make me excited. You hear a great song and you want to record it or get a great idea and you want to write it.
