As long as I remember that the glory is His and not my own. When I confuse that, I get in trouble. We think that we glorify ourselves, and the object is to glorify God first, and in doing that you become glorified, you get glorified.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.

I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there.

I got into direct confrontation with everybody I love.

In my life the most influential people are people who are sort of brought to me, as opposed to people I seek out.

With the things that I love, I tried to put a couple seeds, a bunch of seeds in the ground and see what sprung up. Sometimes it was acting and sometimes it was music. But whatever it was I continued to plant.
