Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Life is a journey that's measured not in miles or years but in experiences, and the route your life takes is built not of roads but of songs.

The lesson I've learned the most often in life is that you're always going to know more in the future than you know now.

I lived most of my life in Texas, but I've settled down in Pittsburgh. My husband is from here. We met at a Flyleaf show in Columbus.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I've never even been to the 'hood. Not that there's anything wrong with the 'hood.
