How we absorb music is unique. I know what I do. When I'm listening to music, I tend to find myself in a song. That's what really makes you connect is if you feel what that song is saying.

There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

All I ever have to be is what you made me.

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.

I love being with my children. They're fascinating people.

You do your best, you do all this stuff, but the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
