I went to Jamaica for six months, and in Jamaica there was a lot of stillness.

Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin' at all

I was hopeless, now I'm on Hope Road.

God said, All right, I'm gonna show you. I made you what you are. God takes care of me. I'm just the one who delivers the message.

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 think the work ethic that was established in my family was something very important. If you plant the seed, if you sow sparingly and reap sparingly. If you sow in abundance you'll reap in abundance.

I knew his life deserved a chance/But everybody told me to be smart/Look at your career they said/Lauren, baby use your head/But instead I chose to use my heart.
