I really prayed and asked God for my first film.

I prayed a lot. That's all I had in the gym; that was the thing I could turn to.

As a child I prayed that my calling be revealed - but not with expectation and not with a destination. I became an artist because I didn't know what to do and I thought it was really fun to make things.

God put me on this earth to bring souls back to the Kingdom of God. You don't need to pray ten times a day - you just need hope. My music is going to stop war; it's the healing music. I see myself in Brazil, in Syria, in Darfur, and places where they really need hope.

Every single morning, I have a person sitting right there next to me in prayer with a tape recorder - and a song comes up every day.

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

I was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, 'God I wish you would give me a song.' About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing.

Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.

I tell people all the time - I'm a very spiritual person, so I pray over everything that I do including creating music, a new song.
