My problems were not what ended Creed.

I was a Christian in Creed, but nobody ever asked me.

I hear a thunder in the distance; see a vision of the cross. I feel the pain that was given on a sad day of loss. Only He holds the key: a light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally.

I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous.

I always believed in God and Christ, but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

The story of my life is profoundly unclear. It is a rock-and-roll story and, at the same time, a story of my walk with Christ. The two are melded together in ways both unpredictable and unsure.

You can sell millions of records, be showered with all this love and admiration and still feel despised and unwanted. That's what I felt. I've made a lot of mistakes I'm not proud of.

And it took me, since I was 17 and left home, running from God, to now, as a 30-year-old man, when I honestly feel like I've come full circle and my heart's finally in the right place.

Creed was ended by egos and people wanting to do their own thing and poor decision-making.

I had a psychotic break that was brought on by alcohol and drug abuse.

Creed's sound is my sound.

If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.

I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation.

Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation.

I love to meet people for lunch at my favorite restaurant, the Loaded Goat. It is named after the Andy Griffith Show episode where a goat ate a bunch of dynamite.

I think we're all experiencing climate change. Experience is an effective teacher. It's sometimes a very harsh teacher. So we will be taught about climate change.

There is always money to kill people. There is never enough money for life affirming ends.

I think that when people look at me, and they look at my height and my voice and my coloring, they automatically think, "Tough."

If there was a story about boys playing punk I don't think I would've made it, because it would just be the same, it wouldn't be interesting enough.

If you ever write a book, I can only give you one piece of advice. Don't let your parents get involved.

Once people who have been deprived of basic freedom taste a little of it, they want all of it.
