I love Jesus' Church! I love the charismatics, the Calvary Chapels, the non-denominational ones, and even the ones that don't believe in the gifts. ”

There's so much life to live, and if you just keep on breathing and keep on walking, you will get through everything. ”

I loved music, but I found myself at the point where I wanted to die. I didn't care about life. ”

I've had a big heart my whole life; all the Korn fans know that. A lot of people told me that I was different. ”

When I wasn't in the band, Korn management hit me up every year or two asking me to rejoin. I would do book signings, and they would send someone to say, 'Hey, it would be cool to have you back one day.' ”

I learned that I'm really good with perseverance. I'm stronger than I thought I was inside. I also learned that I don't give up easily and that I trust and believe that things are going to be OK. ”

That was very flattering, meeting Steve Vai and hearing his stuff, because he was kind of a fan, even though we kind of dumbed down what he was doing and what people were doing in the '80s. We weren't doing solos; we were doing sounds and all this creepy, trippy stuff. ”

I'm real excited. I'm so blessed to have so much peace and joy inside. I just can't keep quiet about it. ”

These dudes were 30 years old, and they would compete about getting the best chick. That came before their friendships. Some of them treat women like they're objects. I never felt like that. ”

All the drama you see about Christianity or the Catholic religion? People are seeing through that, and there are really authentic people out there with faith. ”
