When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

I don't know anybody that's not emotionally unstable or schizophrenic.

We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, but it's not usually that way. Love is something deeper and purer.

I didn't have that intense ambition to be a musician or an actress. I just enjoyed it. And by enjoying it, because I loved it, it enabled me to get better at what I was doing, because there was a love behind it.

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

I don't want to be religious, I want to be spiritual. Anybody can be religious. Some people jog religiously. You don't want to be that, you want to be spiritual. You want to have a relationship with God as opposed to doing what everyone else does.
