Those who have had the most impact and influence throughout history and certainly the people who've had the most impact and influence on me personally have been basically entirely unaware of any such influence and made their chief concern their personal devotion and obedience, and the pleasure of God in the hidden things of their lives.

At sixteen I was like: "I need to get an album out now!" - even though I was only sixteen. I was always in a little bit of a rush to be an adult.

I've always recognised that I have influence, whether I like it or not, and that I can use it to do something good.

Now that I have seen I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead.

I learnt that music cost something, and that's a good thing. Also, that I should exercise, because I didn't and I got very sick.

Singing was always quite a private thing... I don't think my own mum even heard me sing until after I signed with Sony just out of high school!
