"I'm not a guru. I'm just a man who's lived a lot. And I try to share what I've learned."

"I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid to live. I'm not afraid of anything."

"I'm a survivor. I've been through a lot, and I've come out on the other side."

"I've been through a lot of ups and downs in my life. But I've always come back to the music."

"I'm not a savior. I'm a man who's been saved. And I try to help others find their way."
