You know, there's always someone in mind when I'm writing. You know, it's all comes from somewhere inside.

Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.

I don't make my living making records. Maybe someday I will.

I am nice to everybody. But people really take advantage of it.

A mature heart for Christ would much rather spend its time praising him than condemning his fanatics.

Always be true to yourself and follow your dreams!

A lot of people think Heaven is sitting around on a cloud playing a harp all day, doing nothing except being holy - and they don't find it very appealing! Thank God that is not what Heaven is like!

Some countries of Europe have to free themselves from the US Empire. They are not going to frighten us because we are a people with dignity and sovereignty.

Revenge is never a straight line.

Our bodies must always be wherever that struggle and the moment we forget that, the moment we become lazy, the moment we sit back, then then the evil ones do their ordained tasks to us.
