Music is too important to be left to professionals.

Prayer is so incredibly powerful. It keeps you in perfect peace.

I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world.

People might say I'm difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as 'difficult'? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power.

I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.

I resent like hell that I was maybe eighteen before I ever heard the 'L' word. It would have made all the difference for me had I grown up knowing that the reason I didn't fit in was because they hadn't told me there were more categories to fit into.

I'm one of the few that comes from this vantage point: I never tried to get a record deal.
