Create a vision that makes you wanna jump out of bed in the morning.

I think I was a mermaid and I used to swim the shores or Hawaii and used to pop up and see coconuts and pineapples everywhere.

Reggae music really chills me out in my dressing-room before I head on stage.

The simple questions are always the hardest ones.

When I do my vocal warm-ups everyone calls me the dolphin because I do stupid siren noises.

I always feel like when I've listened to a great song I know it, 'cuz it's the only time I'll ever get goosebumps or something like that.

I think we've all got a mirror man in our life - male, female, it's someone who love themselves before they can love anyone else.

By the time I was ten or eleven, I had a song-book and I was writing everything down. It used to just be my hobby but now it's like my diary, it's where I can go in my own little bubble.

I started playing the piano from the age of three and I started teaching myself; we always had a piano round the house.

My parents brought me up on all different styles of music, like my Mum would listen to Motown R&B and my Dad was quite 80's driven, so I was always surrounded by music growing up.

Human labor, the manual work that people engage in to build their world, both physical and spiritual, defines the realization of their conceptual realm.

When I write I like to give equal justice to lyrics, too. I want the song to have meaning for me so I can make it have meaning for the audience.

Its not about the place we want to visit, its about with whom we visit.

Through the many years of what I thought was 'searching', was really the process of 'awakening'.

I don't want to think about it, but I have to. Someone has to. I see the signs of spring and I weep...

Experience is not what happens to you it is what you do with what happens to you.

You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.

Y'all are so cute and y'all talk so proper over here. I love England.

The Lord Jesus Christ would have the whole world to know, that though He pardons sin, He will not protect it.

It's very important to me that people who are actual chefs and other professionals in the culinary world, understand that I'm not, and have never held myself out as being, like a CIA trained chef.
