I'm a big reader. My kids love reading, and I think it's important, not just for development but for bonding. You start reading to kids before they can even understand what you're saying to them, so I look at it as a fundamental tool for connection.

Children are the world's future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.

Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.

God is like the sun. When the sun shines, it shines for everyone. God is for everyone.

Nobody owns me or my music.

There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.

I don't chase what I hear on the radio. I try not to compete with anybody.
