• This is what I want everyone to experience at the end of my concert...
  everyone has this sense of rejoicing.
  I don't want them to be blown away by what I do,
  I want them to have this sense of real, real joy
  from the depths of their being.
  Because I think when you take them to that place,
  then you open up a place where grace can come in.

And I was just blown away.
