I do believe that we're all God's children.

I'm attracted to things that make me want to be a better person.

Even in my music, I am always searching for big, universal things - ways that you can sort of reach outside the norm of what you are doing.

For me, when you have to prepare to play God, and then walking away from that, you realize just how tough God's job is. I don't want that job.

People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.

I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.

The one thing that I realize - well, not the one thing, but it was a big thing - having in my head that I need to get healthier. It's been a very gradual process for me.
