I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.

Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.

My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives.

Not only am I putting music out there, I'm giving part of myself away.

When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

For me, I go in and play a few Christian songs for an audience, and now I have people come up and not tell me I'm great, but tell me that my music is helping save their lives, helping them in the Lord, and helping them end their vices.

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

I'm just trying to make my favorite music. That's how I work; I just do things based on the way they feel to me. I want to be touched by the music I'm making. Luckily, other people have shared that response to my work over the years.

I am convinced that music, like philanthropy, bridges hope.

If it helped you get your music off the ground, I'm glad you done it.
