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

I just think music is such a beautiful thing. It lifts the heart and buoys up your spirits - all kinds of music.

You live in a dangerous place when you sacrifice integrity for security.

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.

I think that if my kids are completely convinced of God's unfailing love for them, whether they fail or not, they'll have confidence to persevere in life

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 think the first time you try anything in a public way, you feel really exposed.
