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

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.

I was in church a little bit as a very young kid, but, as they say in the South, 'it didnt take.' None of it took with me.

You know, I think you have to sound right singing whatever it is that you sing.

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

In the God of all creation, we put our faith and trust. And give our lives to you, cause you gave your life for us.

In too deep to see the diamond, down too dark to see the gold. Now he won't let go of the shovel, and he cannot dig out of the hole.
