Quit worrying about people that are trying to hold you back. God knows how to move the wrong people out of your life and bring the right people in. He knows how to prepare you to Break Out.

You may not be where you want to be, but you can look back and be thankful you're not where you used to be.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

I think sometimes you just lose your focus, and I think that's easy to do when you start getting more fame, more money, more power.

You can live a good life no matter what's happened to you. And so I don't know. I know there is condemnation, but I don't feel that's my place.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

Every setback means you're one step closer to seeing the dream come to pass.
