Speaking to reporters after winning his 55th and 56th Gospel Music Association Dove Awards in 2009 -- nearly one year after the accidental death of his 5-year-old adopted daughter Maria. http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/news/2009/gma09.html
“Everything you are experiencing today: the struggle, the misunderstanding, the fatigue, even that sense of loneliness, will not be in vain. In the darkest moments, sow. And even if everything seems still, something will already be growing underground. One day it will blossom, powerful and wild, and it will be your name that glitter.”
Original: Tutto ciò che state vivendo oggi: la lotta, l'incomprensione, la fatica, persino quel senso di solitudine, non sarà vano. Nei momenti più bui, seminate. E anche se tutto vi sembrerà fermo, qualcosa starà già crescendo sottoterra. Un giorno sboccerà, potente e selvaggio, e sarà il vostro nome a brillare.

The Paris Review interview (2010)
Context: Three things are in your head: First, everything you have experienced from the day of your birth until right now. Every single second, every single hour, every single day. Then, how you reacted to those events in the minute of their happening, whether they were disastrous or joyful. Those are two things you have in your mind to give you material. Then, separate from the living experiences are all the art experiences you’ve had, the things you’ve learned from other writers, artists, poets, film directors, and composers. So all of this is in your mind as a fabulous mulch and you have to bring it out. How do you do that? I did it by making lists of nouns and then asking, What does each noun mean? You can go and make up your own list right now and it would be different than mine. The night. The crickets. The train whistle. The basement. The attic. The tennis shoes. The fireworks. All these things are very personal. Then, when you get the list down, you begin to word-associate around it. You ask, Why did I put this word down? What does it mean to me? Why did I put this noun down and not some other word? Do this and you’re on your way to being a good writer. You can’t write for other people. You can’t write for the left or the right, this religion or that religion, or this belief or that belief. You have to write the way you see things.
