There are a lot of murder ballads out there, but most of them are about killing the woman. I was like, "We've gotta turn this around!"

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.

I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.

Even from when I was in grade school or church or wherever, I was always like: we're one, and we should respect each other and grow as one. And respect each other's diversity, of course.

I know a lot of people that don't pray or anything, and that's fine - but I need to. I don't even want to call it prayer, I just want to call it talking to something bigger than me.

Sometimes when you're in a more fast-paced place, with more to see and do, you miss out on things like nature and beautiful, God-made things. They call it "God's country"!

I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.
