I bury my mind in my book, the Bible. Every morning it's the first thing that I do. I've been doing it for years and years. So I want to come back here [to Israel] to see the places that I read about every day. It's very important to my faith to feed [my] spirit in Israel.

I don't want anything to get in the way of me and my singing. I want my mind as clear as possible.

Music is so powerful, it needs to be used for some kind of redeeming work. To lift peoples spirits, to lift their souls.

The true musician is to bring light into people's hearts.

I use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

I think play and joy and feeling good deserve more of our time. I don't see why adults are supposed to grow out of those things. If I have a mission it's to make everyone who comes to my concerts leave feeling a heightened sense of freedom to play, sing, and enjoy themselves.

Inviting audiences to open up and hear things differently is an important part of what I do. But I still love to sing songs with words, too.
