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.

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

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die.

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

The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.

I think what I mostly realize is just that life is unpredictable. So don't be afraid, but just enjoy the day you're in. Really make the most of it.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.
