When you have a 13 year old child, you suddenly realize that you may need to pick a vocation.

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio.

I call it the Etch A Sketch life. Every few years, you should shake that thing up.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.

To understand this Christmas record, you have to understand our ministry.

I've been stuck on John Eldredge lately. He's all about being a warrior outside of the church. I hate to think about this kind of stuff - I just like to do it.

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.

Really, at a time when theyre debating when and where a nativity scene can be used, this is the kind of stuff we need to have out there - outside of the church.

I spent another six years in Europe covering sporting events such as the Tour de France.

For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first.

If you don't have paying customers, you have a hobby.

I don't know why, but watching someone else break made me feel a lot less broken.

Just kidding' was exactly what people wrote when they meant every word.

The main event has never been the manifestation; the main event has always been the way you feel moment by moment, because that's what life is.

Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable. What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.

Statistically, you don't have much chance of becoming president if you're not tall and fairly handsome or at least conventional-looking.

Sometimes we don't know what's best until we're forced into it. Often you can be just as happy or even happier with less.

Half the world's starving; the other half is trying to lose weight.

I was certain I was going to do something in sports.
