When I got into my early 20s, I was going to bed one nightI was still drinking, still using drugs, and probably was drunk or high or both when I just picked up the Bible and started reading to go to sleep. I was amazed at how well I slept, but even beyond that, the next day, there was this peace of mind that was still there that I wasnt used to.

I just couldn't stand school. If I went, I'd skip after the first class. I didn't like to be told I had to study and had to do homework. There's a fact that you have to want to learn.

Maybe we could learn a little lesson, maybe this all shine a little light, cause there's no healthy way to mess with the line between wrong and right.

You continue to evolve with each album that goes by and, as an artist, you continue to expand with every recording project.

History will tell the story, America will always stand.

I never thought I'd be a good influence on anybody with anything I did or said or sang.

I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16.
