heart giving people
I’m just a person who wants to be honest and do good, make people happy and give them the greatest sense of escapism through the talent God has given me. That’s where my heart is, that’s all I want to do. Just let me share and give, put a smile on people’s faces and make their hearts feel happy.
creating ifs
If I'm not creating, I'm not as happy.
feel-good musician feels-right
A musician knows hit material. It has to feel right. Everything has to feel in place. It fulfills you and it makes you feel good. You know it when you hear it.
song hate done
That's why I hate to take credit for the songs I've written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it's been done and I'm just a courier bringing it out into the world.
stars children animal
Not the stars, not the farthest solar systems, not the millions of different species of animal life, but the child is the greatest of God's creations.
people age matter
No matter what age you are, if you have it and you know it, then people should listen to you.
moving hell-and-back matter
I've been through hell and back. I have, to be honest, and still I'm able to do what I do and nothing can stop me. No one can stop me, no matter what. I stop when I'm ready to stop. You know, and I'm just saying, you know, I will continue to move forward no matter what.
inspire soul want
I always want to do music that inspires or influences another generation. You want what you create to live, be it sculpture or painting or music. Like Michelangelo, he said, “I know the creator will go, but his work survives. That is why to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work.
hurt found hurt-me
You can't hurt me, I found peace within myself.
song children giving
Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?
music song rivers
People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.
hate thinking world
It's [music composition] the most effortless thing in the world because you don't do anything. I hate to say it like that, but it's the truth.
spiritual thinking artist
I think a great artist should be able to create any style, any form, anything from rock to pop to gospel to spiritual, just wonderful music where everybody can sing it...
children voice light
How would I like to be remembered? As a person who came and brought light to the world, some escapism. Also as the voice for the voiceless children, because I love them.
