I always feel that until you take your last breath, you're always growing.

With age comes the understanding and appreciation of your most important asset, your health.

If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are.

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

The only thing that's in my control is to win ballgames and God is always taking care of me.

I want to be honest about my faith, but not preachy, for my viewers and my readers.

If somebody wants to go to church because they like the ritual of it and want to sit in silence for a while one time a week, then that's great. If someone wants to go because they believe that God them and Jesus rose after three days, then that's great, too.

My upbringing was in the church. We had to attend regularly. And, of course, the church provided a training ground for me, so to speak, as a young vocalist and certainly gave me all of the spiritual values that I needed as a young lady.
