Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

Our goal should be that we're going to live life to the fullest, pursuing our passions and dreams, and when it comes our time to go, we will have used as much of our potential as possible.

Don't do anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day.

We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.

I don't have all the answers.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.

Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.
