I tried to manipulate and control people, and I harbored resentment. I wanted to be forgiven, but I wouldn't forgive others.

My mother has all my awards, because if I walked downstairs every day and saw all my achievements it would be so easy to become complacent.

I try not to have a day pass where I don't read something from the Bible. It's like my sustenance to me.

The honor to me has less to do with the award. To me that translates in the relationship that I have with the audience, and if my music is helpful to them, that's the award.

If the entire week is a battlefield, reading the Bible is sort of like that parachute with the box of reserves that come in the middle of the war: food and water and the toothbrush and toilet paper.

I don't feel like my money or my success defines me. I've always been very happy just bein' me.

We call ourselves creators and we just copy.
