We are all more similar than we usually realize. So much of the suffering we do in our life is because of obsession with self.

We need to welcome the experimental creativity that is always searching out new ways of singing the Gospel, and banish the fear that grips us when familiar music passes away.

As an artist, I think it is important for us to mark places in history where we have made progress, to celebrate by expressing that reality.

I try to not let there be too many steps between what I am mostly focusing on and what I am physically doing. If you are constantly standing back and looking at the whole map, you are going to miss a lot of turns and feel overwhelmed.

One of my favorite things is watching my children learn something new. The combination of innocence and excitement makes a parent feel truly alive, even if only for a second and peripherally.

Be content where you are! The sooner I let go of the notion that something could only be one way, the way I had planned it, without fail, I have always gotten more done and with far less discomfort.

You have to continually and actively watch for the best parts of someone else that will let you experience love.
