I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

Let's look at human interactions. I really believe that there is a way for us to settle disputes nonviolently, using our minds, using all of that was given to us.

You never know where you're going to find a great actor.

I wanted to make something that sounded very pure, organic, and personal. I wanted to make music that was timeless.

Everything that I make I use.

I used to do plays and some television commercials when I was younger. I guess my mom's being an actress got me interested in that, but music definitely took its place.
