If I'm going to represent God I have to do it the best I can.

The more we depend on God the more dependable we find He is.

I liked the Beatles but I wasn't mad on the Stones. I always thought they were a slight rip-off of Chuck Berry and some of the old blues people, and they never seemed to change. If people compare me to Jagger and the Stones I would be the one to be put down ... I've been far more progressive than any of them.

It is important to have a circle of Christians friends, which I do have.

The thrill of hearing your own voice recorded is still there, I still love it, going into the studio and thinking how can I sing this song and between the producers and the musicians you find a way of doing it.

I'm very grateful because my fans are very loyal.

Once in a lifetime a really beautiful song comes along ... Until it does, I'd like to do this one.
