I feel so blessed to be alive and so blessed to have to have a father that loves me no matter how much wrong I do in this world.

Faith is why I'm here today and faith is why I made it through.

You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, but not what I've been through.

It's better to have a few faithful friends than numerous shallow friendships.

Holding on to the past will hold you down in life. Learn from it but move on.

I live to inspire, not start the fire.

Faith doesn't get you around problems in life and relationships, it gets you through it.

Forget living a long life cause I don't see that happening with me living a life of misery, neglect, and pain. So I just want to die happy.

Thank you God for helping me to overcome the bad to live the good.

I rather now strive to reach rather than wait to receive!

You never know who's waiting for you and you never know when love is coming your way or who it might be. But let me just say, a healthy relationship requires SACRIFICE and DEDICATION.

When rewards come from an external source instead of an internal source, they’re unreliable, which means they’re dangerous if you grow to depend on them.

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us, food was part of the fabric of our day.

Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue. A man who has learned not to feel fear will find the fatigue of daily life enormously diminished.

I don't start writing a script until I can see it all in my head, then it's a matter of getting it down in white heat.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

...the meaning of my thoughts started to float away from me, like leaves that fall from a tree into a river, I was the tree, the world was the river.

If I don't stay creative and if I don't stay in the studio and keep writing and recording, I get kind of depressed. I can't quite remember what I'm supposed to be doing with myself.

It is demonstrable and observable that our morals are based on our earliest spiritual beliefs. Matters of the Mind in no small measure have reflected matters of the Soul.

What I need is to believe in myself again — for my faith has been greatly undermined; it seems to me my role is over.
