Zitat des Tages von Danny Gokey:
There's not a person in the United States of America who doesn't love country or have some kind of tie to it.
I want to have a movement with my music.
I can just be a Christian who sings mainstream music instead of having to be a Christian who has to somehow just sing Christian music.
I don't live in regret land. I live in the now and in the future, and in the dreams that I have.
Your future is only big enough for you to walk through, not for you and your past to walk through.
On 'American Idol,' I felt like one of my challenges was picking songs because I've definitely been exposed to a lot of music. So when I went to pick songs, it was difficult for me to choose, but I'd always go to country because country music is so memorable.
I've kind of walked into a realm where it's paid off for all the hard work that I've put into it, and I get to bless my family. And that's the one thing I love doing. I love giving.
I would like to do a duet with Kelly Clarkson. I just think she's wonderful!
When I sing songs, I love to put emotion into it. I want people to feel what I feel and just disappear for a moment.
Whether it's an inspiring song or whether it's an entertaining song - whatever it might be about it - I just want people to feel the emotion that I put into it because I think emotion... is everything.
I tell people life is like a book being written by heavenly hands that we can't see.
I like that in country, you can talk about what you want to talk about. You can entertain, yet you can have a spiritual side to you, also an emotional side.
I have a mission, and that's to help people. That's what I want my music to do.
When you write about hope, don't make it sappy; make it cool, make it adaptable.
In our culture, I feel like everyone just wants the good life, the dream life, but I'm learning to embrace suffering because with suffering there's so much good that comes out of it.
Christmastime is about hope with what God did for us and with the expression of His love through the gift He gave us at Christmastime, which was Jesus... the one who heals us, who saves us, who delivers us, who is there in our darkest moments.
I've always loved glasses. Always have. I've worn glasses since I was in the fifth grade.
I had underwear thrown on stage that said 'Gokey' on the back... all glittery! It was grandma-underwear, too.
I believe in helping people who are down.
I needed to walk through the 'Idol' door to get to the rest of my career.
