God will give you no more than you can handle.

It's a matter of choosing what is most important to you and putting that first. Once you have recognized your true purpose in life, this becomes much easier.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

I wanted an electric train for Christmas but I got the saxophone instead.

Now that I am much older, I have had a number of sax players tell me I was responsible for them playing sax. Some of them I have admired over the years.

I have no agenda - just to be loved. Somebody said to me, 'Whenever somebody says your name, a smile comes to their face.' That's a great accolade. I strive to keep it that way.

Tears may come and go, But there's one thing I know. All my life you're a friend of mine. You can depend on me. I'll be fine... 'Cause you're a friend of mine.

I do read music, but I prefer playing from the heart.

I take my job as a rock and roll sax player very seriously. To do it the way that I must do it, I must be in good condition. The better shape you're in, the harder you can rock.

Some people think the real them is whoever they are when they're not around other people.

The only thing that's in my control is to win ballgames and God is always taking care of me.

But we're still in somewhat a Puritanical society in a lot of ways.

The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!

Full effort is full victory.

My father is actually a quarry man - he deals in stone. He also at one point had a lot of sheep, he owned a sheep farm, but primarily the family business was in stone.

A thousand approaches lie open to death.

Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith.
