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.

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

I'd like to do a television show that is encouraging, useful, and clean, and I'd like to go up against Entertainment Tonight and beat it.

You know, the world is all about balance. You lose something here... maybe somebody else picks it up over there.

A clever girl may pass through the phase of foolish miss on the way to sensible woman.

Nothing takes God by surprise, not even cancer.

Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.

When you get a little older, you'll see how easy it is to become lured by the female of the species.

Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal.

I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together

In my case, once you sell a lot of books and you are labeled a bestselling author, the serious critics are never gonna say anything nice about you.

The church is a place where broken people can fall in love with a beautiful God.

Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it, the vase will never be same again.
