We need to pray and read the Bible every day, and regardless of whatever else happens to you, that tends to keep you close to Him, because you are constantly in touch through His Word.

The music industry has changed drastically and that damages young artists. They don't have the same support system that we had. They wanted us to be happy. Today I would have been dropped after the first flop.
