I believe in the power of music. I believe in it absolutely. It's never failed me. Never.

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.

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.

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

I can't tell you where I'm going . . . but I can tell you where I come from.

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

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