The point is to raise your voice and be heard to God. You really are just celebrating being in the presence of other people that believe the same things you believe.

Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.

They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

I'm grateful that music has been a place where I've found freedom.

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.

Self-discipline is a great time-saver; it is the ability to make yourself work on only those things that are most important to you.

I often tease young people about their concern for how they look; more important is inner beauty - compassion, affection and respect.

So I know where my feet are.
