I'm blessed, because I enjoy every part of my life. I enjoy writing songs. I've been trying to write songs since I was five years old.

Everybody has their own soul.

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.

I really haven't strayed too far, musically, from my roots

My mother was a churchgoing lady, so I always heard about God at home

If some of those people who wanted to ban Beethoven's music could hear the music that's being played today, wow, what would they do, man?

I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Originally I was not writing songs for myself. ....And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... Even if I don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. When you write a song, it gives it that potential. When you write a song, a song has longevity. ... So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God. Songwriting is my gift from God.
