“We just want to be honest with who we are.”

“To find music that's cinematic in a way that goes with the words and the message I think is my main goal. It just naturally comes out of me and sounds like rock music.”

“I think the most important thing about singers was that they were passionate and they did it on purpose and they meant what they said. I think that way about Nirvana and I think that way about just the grunge era in general - Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots back in the day, Smashing Pumpkins.”

“What's cool about getting pregnant is that I feel like my priorities in my life are gonna change and life is gonna be a little bit more stable, I think, in a way that I can put boundaries around how much work demands of me, you know.”

“Label people get mad because I take pictures with fans while I'm wearing glasses. They'll be like, 'That's not Lacey Mosley!' But I know who Lacey Mosley is.”

“Romance is a shadow of the divine.”

“I think Korn, I wasn't into them at all. And then I listened to the album and I was, like, 'Wow. It's great.' It wasn't like whatever the single was.”

“In the end, God is the God of all authorities. He's the highest authority and He loves you and He can totally defend us and protect us.”

“The first thing I recognised is that God is good... so good we have to use the word holy. He's so beyond good that I could never even touch that.”

“I have faith in God to put me where I need to be at the right time, and to put on my heart what I’m called to do… Sometimes we’re called to be very proactive about one thing, and then in another season, we’re supposed to let it go, trust God and pick up something else. You have to be in constant prayer and connected with the Holy Spirit to lead you.”

“I don't know how many times I've experienced something where I felt like God showed up and saved me or loved me for no reason sometimes.”

“My favorite thing about music is that it tells a story. You can hear the message without having to understand the words. I love that so much.”

“Touring is all we've ever known. I mean, we started out in an Expedition and two Ford Explorers, cramming all our friends into the car, just to have an audience to play to.”

“I got to work with David Hodges, who used to be in Evanescence, on some songs. He's written a ton of songs with a lot of female artists like Kelly Clarkson and Christina Perri. We've written some amazing songs, some of my favorite stuff that I've done.”

“It's a rollercoaster to find out the difference between right and wrong.”

“On the self-titled record touring cycle, we had a lot of heavy experiences with loved ones dying or even ourselves facing death in one way or another.”

“Everything I had seen of Christianity was just used to judge people and to be holier-than-thou.”

“There are more fans who don't know the spiritual side of our music than the ones who do, and that's fine.”

“Mourning is a multifaceted process and sort of comes in waves.”

“The truth is, we only have one Father and that's God, and we only have one Bridegroom and that's Christ.”
