One day, I just got up to read a poem and started singing. I looked around - the reaction was great. And I said, oh, boy. I like this.

In order to grow emotionally and mentally, sometimes you have to grow physically as well. I'm just trying to grow, man, and always I just want to be the best and most confident me I can be.

I am making an effort to truly live. I don't mean to imply by that that I haven't been alive before but, with my son being here and such a powerful force in my life, he's given me a freedom to be more. I think that sometimes we can get stuck, and just the fact that he's here says so much to me about my own existence. I didn't think I'd be able to have children, and this level of blessing is something I can't even put my finger on.

All man-made religions are limited. I go my own way.

Ain't nothing coming easily in this life. Sometimes you gotta work, you gotta grow and it gotta hurt.

Beauty is an understanding of what you have, and it's forgiving yourself of what you don't have, and appreciating all of it.

Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.
