You've got to realize that the world's a test, You can only do your best and let Him do the rest. You've got your life, and got your health, So quit procrastinating and push it yourself.

Music saved my life. The voice you hear, the soul, the pain, is that of a person who deeply, deeply, deeply appreciates the opportunity they've been given.

There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful.

Be free and express yourself. Do what comes naturally.

I hate hateful people.

Everybody's the same color with the lights off.

The line between playing to win and sin is thin, But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste. I am that raw, simply put, and I rest my case.

I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.

So many of the bands that influenced me growing up were English, even if I didn't realise it. English pop ruled the world in the '80s!

Others tell like it is, while I tell it how I would like it to be.

I don't sell dope, I sell hope.

As is often the case, the sole person not left speechless in awe by my brilliance is my own beloved wife.

It's okay to fail. It does not make you forever a failure. In fact, there are no failures really. Only human beings doing the best they can.

Nothing breaks down barriers and preconceived ideas about 'Christians and Christianity' more than when we treat people the way Jesus treated His enemies.

I love my brother, I love my dad, actually love my mother as well, hope that's ok. And I admire their service to the nation and the difficult decisions they had to make.

I've got a lot of different religious ideas circling through my family, but the positive thing is that I was raised with a lot of openness and compassion.

The present is always invisible because its environmental. No environment is perceptible, simply because it saturates the whole field of attention.

Perhaps the only institution more puffed-up and self-important than academia is government.

Empower the people around you, from the janitor to the athletic director. You do that by being sincere, caring about others, and then putting it into practice.

I am a thespian trapped in a man's body.

The call of God is what gets you out of bed everyday, not a burden for something.
