I am heartbroken by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in my home state. Like so many Americans I am watching the news reports with great sadness. But it's at times like these that each of us must work together to provide lifesaving aid to those in terrible need.

Better than I was, more than I am. And all of this happened by taking your hand.

People get out of music what they want to get out of it, and all I try to do is do the same thing.

I mean, I grew up riding. I can't ever remember not being able to ride or rope and all that stuff. It was part of my life growing up, so it was fun for me.

Most of the time I ask, "Why have I forsaken God?" I look at myself and ask that question when probably the better question is to say, "Where are you God, and I'll let you in." Instead of thinking that you've abandoned God, push yourself in the other direction like, "God, how can I get closer?"

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.

Someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
