The real work is in the practice.

Practice makes us what we shall be.

Retailers grow and die. I've been doing this almost 30 years now, which is amazing to me because I feel like in some ways, we're still just getting started.

If you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done, but keep trying.

I've leaned on God for so long. "Hey, God, you just gave me this gift, and I'm just going to go out there and sing." But I'm realizing how much larger and how expansive my gift becomes when I actually pay attention to it and try to practice and try to perfect it.

It's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, and hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. And one day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Super Bowl!
