I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul.

I cant immediately get all this coverage when my record comes out. The way I sell gold and platinum records is by being on the road.

Literally as I walk into the studio I say, "God, hollow me of all my junk. Hollow me of my insecurity, my pride and my doubt. Make me hollow enough that you can breathe something through me that would turn eyes to you." And whether that's a song or a conversation you're going to have with a co-worker, or whatever you're facing, that's for everybody.

Selling millions of records is great, but at the end of the day it really doesn't bring peace.

Focusing on the negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult

I feel like I'm not living a life different than anyone else. You know, I live in a house with 5 kids and a wife, but I also travel on the road with a band of brothers, just doing life. I am a member of a church, but it's almost like it's a little church on our bus. It's about trying to pursue God and stay faithful to Him in this crazy world.

I'm not going to put out a Christmas CD until it's coming out of me naturally.
