It's emotional warfare telling the people we love, the most, the truth about ourselves.

I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.

I used to play my records aloud until one night my mother was like, "This is too loud. I'm not having it," and so I put on headphones. But the headphones didn't stretch all the way to my bed from the record player, so I had to sleep on the floor in order to hear the records. I slept on the floor right next to the record player until I was probably 19 years old.

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.

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

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.

The sweetest thing I've ever known was like the kiss on the collarbone.
