I think I would rather want to create something new, but I really did enjoy doing that show. It was a really fun show to do.

It always amazes me when I see young people with raw talent and passion.

What I've noticed about celebrities is, if they are really successful, they're more down-to-earth.

A lot of the music I listen to is indie rock. It's not on the radio.

You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.

I always have plans to return to the stage. I leave myself very open. I think what would be more likely is if I did a limited run of something, whether it be a play or a musical.

I am trying so hard to live in the moment and enjoy it while it's happening, because it feels like a moving freight train that I just got on, and I'm trying not to look back and get dizzy!

I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music.

What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was Hee Haw, was 360 degrees of entertainment.

Around 14, I was turned on to Shania, Reba, Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood... and I've followed it ever since.

I feel connected to a higher power when I'm making music or performing. There's a spiritual experience for me.

Loving someone who does not love you back is like, reaching for a star. You know you will never reach it but you just have to keep on trying. Because someday, who knows? It might fall.

May Lord Almighty fight your battles for you.

I could be the lone Eskimo, friend of whales and seals."The Panopticon

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

I have an old brain but a terrific memory.

Traders lose because the game is hard, or out of ignorance, or lack of discipline or because of both.

Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity

I feel that one of the greatest gifts you can give someone is the truth, but sometimes my words will get stuck on the way out.

Jesus invested everything he had in a team. The Bible knows nothing about solo ministry, only team ministry.

I enjoy helping young children succeed.
