- [1985] I'll tell ya, singin' isn't any good unless you have something good to sing about.
- What I find in life is that it's not so much about good and bad people, but about good and bad combinations.
- I guess a part of being deceived, is that you wouldn't know it.
- Just growing up some, and encountering experiences that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I do not understand God's plan.
- You can still cut loose and have a great time, but part of you has to say, "I will take life with open eyes and a thinking mind, and not as self-centered as I was as a child". When you start looking at life that way you realize that issues on every level on every continent do have an effect on your life.
- On marriage: The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.
- I was a Bush supporter, but I was bowled over with President Clinton's personal magnetism when I met him. I was so not expecting that. He has amazing charisma. His charisma can stop a room. And it's everything, it's male... He's just bigger than life. Very embracing, very warm.
- The toughest thing, as a believer, is to see how Christianity is pigeonholed into this one did-you-get-the-memo-on-how-to-vote kind of thing. I am somebody who feels very spiritually alive, and prayer is an integral part of my daily life, along with confession, worship - all those things. But I see how all that's been quantified, and made a caricature of, and I don't want to add to a cultural experience that turns people off.
