I know how it feels to go into a studio to start a record, and eight weeks later it's finished. I know how an intense schedule feels.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

If I had my life to live over again, I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more, I'd talk more to children, and I'd learn how they laugh.

Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there's something good about feeling both.

More important than talent, strength, or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams.

Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.

People who repeatedly find career success learn to broaden their perspective and understand that there are always several roads to getting where you want to go.

Some of our friends are our friends only because we used to be friends.

I am fiscally prudent and socially progressive. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose. I believe in marriage equality.

One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.

My obligation right now is to do well for myself, my family, my employees, for my companies. And that's what I do.

They still believe in God, the family, angels, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other obsolete stuff.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom.

Few people who marry plan for their marriages to fail, but neither do they specifically plan for success.
