I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.

I have to have lemon and honey. I have to have apple cider vinegar, Braggs. And I have to have either Red Vines or Twizzlers. These things, you know, are the things that help my vocal performance.

If you're looking for inner peace from the outside world, you're not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside.

You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect.

It's not just songs and glamour. It's sweat, blood, broken toes, and mistakes... It's life.

You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.
