Being a parent is not easy, but speaking for myself, it's a wonderful blessing and the most rewarding job I've ever had.

I just try and get better and better at me with every album.

For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.

I think the one thing for me that's been working is just authenticity.

I don't really chase trends and fads because they are fleeting.

I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

One of the least enjoyable things for me to do is to talk about myself.

I like to leave all of my soul on the stage where I perform.

I think that whatever you do, if you're a singer, a rapper, an architect, dentist, treat that like when you're doing it, your whole career depends on that moment.

There's something uniquely exhilarating about puzzling together the truth at the hands of an unreliable narrator.

You do a movie and, even if it's not a comedy or it's not an action film, you get a little taste of it, and then I want to do it full force.

There are some writers who feel they are elected by God. I am not. I am elected by the devil - this is clear.

I do appreciate a woman who has a passion for sports and knows their stuff.

Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.

I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, 'Oh you take such risks,' or 'You're brave'. And I'm like 'Well, if you only knew - inside I'm really frightened!'

A Christian's authenticity is show in difficult hours it is in difficult hours that the church grows in authenticity. Blest be God for this difficult hour in our archdiocese. Let us be worthy of it.

My only preference is to have a lot of variety and diversity in the material that I work on.

Once upon a time I was such a good liar; I could talk the fish right into my mouths.
