My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

We've all received our share of good fortune, so that's my definition of much. A single blessing is all the bounty in the world, and if you've been blessed at all you're meant to pass some of that on. You're meant to set a positive example. That's our responsibility

I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.

Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.

I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.

Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.
