I have never learned to read or write music so I am not a virtuoso musician like the others you mentioned. I am completely unable to play like them because I never learned classical music, I just developed my own crazy style!

I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!

It is always encouraging and kind when people say nice things about my work but I know that it is not me that did it then and it is not me that is doing it now. It is God living in me and for that I will always be grateful.

It is hard to understand addiction unless you have experienced it.

All of us would like for everybody to be the kind of person we want them to be.

The past has infinite value if one learns from it.

If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.
