I’m super serious about music. That’s, like, the only thing I’m serious about.

I’m the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that’s horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it.

The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that.

Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.

People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday School, but it’s true.

Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you – gently, with love, and hand your life back to you.

In hip-hop, there’s not a lot of love. There’s not a lot of love being spread. It’s always like ‚I’m stuntin‘ on you raps, or I’m better than you raps.‘ It’s not a lot of ‚Yo man, I idolize you raps.‘

The song ‚Innocent‘ is a song that I wrote about something that really, really emotionally impacted me.

I mean… in life… what relationship is easy?

The more nobly a man wills and acts, the more avid he becomes for great and sublime aims to pursue. He will no longer be content with family, country, and the remunerative aspect of his work. He will want wider organisations to create, new paths to blaze, causes to uphold, truths to discover, an ideal to cherish and defend.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

There’s nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It’s a thing no married man knows anything about.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.
