You could take away the singing, and I am fine. But don't take away my gift of writing. It is the best way I can relate and express what I am feeling and what I am going through.

I don't feel like singing should be taken lightly. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it's coming along.
I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.
There's certain things as a songwriter that I don't really care to write about, and there are certain things I won't sing about anymore. There are just so many things that I probably thought was OK for me, or have been in the past, that I would never want my son to think was OK.
If you are not happy with the song, don't sing it. Simple as that - no-one forces you to do it.
When I write songs for myself it's really personal and I just can't have someone else singing it.
I feel what I sing, and I sing what I feel. Really, that's all I can do.
When I write songs, when I sing songs, I don't have anybody in mind. I'm just trying to express what I think people are feeling.
I'm not like other writers. I'm not hung up on using my own songs. In fact, my sister Bunny always tells me I sing other people's songs better than my own. She says I loosen up and give the songs a different feel.
I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.
I'm unable to ignore the gift that God gave me, so I'm going to sing.
