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

It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.

If I had my life to live over again, I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more, I'd talk more to children, and I'd learn how they laugh.

In the past, when I'd recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn't getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing.

I write about everything, but I just - how faith filters through all that and colors your opinion of other people and life and all that.

Man hurts man, time and time again. As we drown in the wake of our power, somebody tell me why?

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