Quotes from Laura Allen

To me, Gospel music is really any music that's a testimony and tells a story of what God has done in your life.

Nobody ever feels like they've arrived. That's just the nature of being a creative type of person. You always feel like you can get better or reach more people.

Think of the higher rate of suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse among young gay people.
