“We need to be a light and when I look at the loudest voices, when I look at the people who are shaping our youth... gladly I'll go in there.”

“With Skillet, I rock out with all my heart and soul.”

“I'm not just mini-Skillet.”

“I'm going to sing songs to hopefully inspire people to not give up and inspire people to keep going when they want to give up or when they feel afraid.”

“I'm a really passionate person and I feel the music and I'll give everything I've got on stage.”

“The main thing I've learned from touring with Skillet is just how impactful music is because I have traveled the world from Russia to Japan to Australia and I have seen music impact people.”

“While there's breath in our lungs, our lives are worth fighting for wholeheartedly.”

“I've seen people all over the world say, 'You've saved my life,' and that is an honor to be able to be a part of anything that influential in the world, for it to be power and light and hope, to save people and to help people get over addiction or empower people that want to give up.”

“None of us are perfect and none of us have everything together.”

“I look at just how many voices there are shaping our young people. These are the people that are the most influential... these are the people that we pretend have 'made it' and 'this is the goal of life.'”

“It's only by His grace and goodness and power that I've achieved anything.”

“I finally realised I really enjoy playing the way I play and I'm not going to try to play like Travis Barker because it's not the way I want to play.”

“I can't let fear rob me of my own life. I'd rather go down swinging and fight it, even if it is until the day I die.”

“My first show ever was an arena tour called WinterJam 2008 and I had just turned 18.”

“The idea that 'Not Dead Yet' could inspire anyone to overcome whatever it is they're facing, it's an honor to me. It's what makes me most excited to play music.”

“Fear wants to take you out and stop you from ever really living or having the courage to try.”

“I grew up in England and I grew up at a Church of England church. It was more like a club for our family. We went on Sundays, but there was no effect on our lives... we weren't clear what the gospel was.”

“I find it so mind-blowing that before the creation of the world, He not only knew my name but He chose me and He loved me, He knew the mistakes I was going to make, He knew the ways I was going to let people down or even let myself down and none of it shocks Him.”
