Everybody is going to have their critics. It's easy to get discouraged in life.

Let's start affecting our whole city, and maybe we can affect the whole nation, the whole world. I'd like to affect it with the fact that God is a good God and He's on your side and He's got a good plan for you and when you put your hand in His, great things can happen.

Don’t simply settle for what your parents had. You can go further than that. You can do more, have more, be more.

So many people are looking at what's wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what's right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.

Be careful with whom you associate, especially when you feel emotionally vulnerable, because negative people can steal the dream right out of your heart.

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
