For me, the backdrop of half the experiences of life includes music.

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 know my own weaknesses as a human being, and as a musician, as a singer and as a woman.

I think for a woman, the hardest thing about growing old is becoming invisible. There's something very front and center about being young.

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

I feel a part of the congregation. I've never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It's just normal. We're treated like everybody else.

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