Truth is Mormonism. God is the author of it.

Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed.

I've never had a band with more than 3 people (meaning only two string players), so I love having the ability for 3-part polyphony.

I love my work. I've had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.

I'm always talking about loving yourself and expressing yourself and learning how to love yourself. I'm still the same.

If you are silent, be silent out of love. If you speak, speak out of love.
