I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

I love to read things that have moral messages, and I love to hear stories where it's not just a hook, you have to follow the story, you have to listen to the message of the song, and get it and use it in your everyday life.

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

I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.

I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.

I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"

If you're going to be stuck somewhere forever, you might as well be around good people!
