After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness anger concealed often hardens into revenge.

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

I'd love to do something with Kelly Clarkson because she's been a monumental influence on me. I love how she handles her celebrity. She's not in the tabloids a lot but everyone knows and respects her because she's got an amazing voice. That's something I aim towards.

I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it that's God. And if we fight it if we swim the other way we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.
