Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

I believe in equality for everyone. I believe everyone should have the right to love and commit to whomever they want. [...] All I know is that in God's eyes we are all the same. I just wish we could see through the eyes of God more often.

I've never heard a song written from a stepmother's point of view, about their family.

I need honor and love in my life from somebody who's playin' for keeps. What I'm searching for is a man who'll stand by me: who will walk through the fire and be my flame in the night. I won't settle for less than what I deserve: a friend and a lover who'll love me for the rest of my life.

I don't care if I'm in too deep.

I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard.

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.
