You can't celebrate gifts without celebrating the giver of all gifts.

Being humbled is always good for us, even if it doesn't feel good to us.

A lot of my wounds have healed. They have left scars, and I can either hide my scars, put a long sleeve shirt on, and cover them up. Or, I can show them off and say, "Yeah, it happened."

Success isn't what you've done compared to others. Success is what you've done compared to what you were made to do.

Sex, drugs, money, power etc. Just because you get to choose your master doesn't mean you aren't a slave.

I always want to be growing in my craft. Any artist should - whether you paint, whether you do music or film - always grow and study.

I know for me as an artist, I think I do myself and my listeners a disservice, if I don't listen to some of the best music out there. If I was an architect or a carpenter, I'm going to want to study the best architects and carpenters and I'm going to appreciate their work, because they're going to inspire me to do well. And I just look at them as great architects and I just appreciate the gift that God gave them.
