A great moment of clarity when I realized I'm dying. There's no reason to wait to do the things we want to do.

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

If you want to write the next great novel, but you think, No, this won't work because no one will buy it or it won't be any good, then you talk yourself out of taking a risk.

To understand this Christmas record, you have to understand our ministry.

I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It's useful music.

I took the ET job because I wanted to stop traveling and they said I would only work half a day. Then I could work on music the rest of the day. They put in my contract that I wouldn't work after 1 P.M.

Those worship songs on the Christmas project will air on PBS television. That's highly unusual.
