“Jesus is who saved me. He’s what keeps me full and whole.”

Music is the love of my life. It’s a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpected and meaningful.

I tell kids not to be on the Internet. It’s dangerous. It’s not fun. It wastes your life. You should just be outside playing sports, instead of sitting in front of any type of screen.

I’ve never just been able to be alone, and I’m obsessed with being alone and hearing my thoughts. I’m trying to take this alone time — the five minutes I do have a day — to learn as much as I can.

Drugs are for idiots. I’m never going to be that person.

It’s the little things that make us who we are in the bigger world.

There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends.

If someone tells you you’re not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they can have a great view of your fabulous ass.

When you’re younger, you’re more selfish, because there’s so much self-exploration, you’re in your own mind.

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone’s beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

I tell people, you know, going to the club doesn’t make me a bad person, going to church doesn’t make you a good one.

I think that if you’re doing something that’s important, that’s significant in your life, it takes some of the pain away.

Life is all about having a good time.

But I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you.

Obey God’s law first before considering the laws of man.

If the Bible and the microscope do not agree, the microscope is wrong.

The religion is a personal thing in my life and fighting in the ring, it’s boxing. It’s my profession. God always gives me strength.

If you wish your children to be Christians you must really take the trouble to be Christian yourselves. Those are the only terms upon which the home will work the gracious miracle.

At the same time we are aware that our various religions and ethical traditions often offer very different bases for what is helpful and what is unhelpful for men and women, what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is evil.

But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.

The Gospel has to be the norm.

Come Jesus, restore my soul tell me things that I don’t know.
