Everybody can relate to being an outsider, having to deal with that, and having to wrestle with how people view them.

There would be some times where people wouldn't know how to act around me. Does he drink? Can I cuss? What can I do? And then there was other circumstances where it was, I just don't respect what you're trying to do.

Ain't a soul on the planet that's better than another.

I've made so many crazy mistakes and done so many terrible things, I don't know. I'd just say I'm grateful for every mistake and every disappoint that I've had to experience - that I'm still loved and still cared for, that God's still here for me.

I consider what I do soul music, it's music that is concerned with the soul.

We fear circumstances so much because we fear God so little.
