I appreciate the 'Surreal Life.' I had a really positive experience on that show, and with those people. I found some love in my heart for religion again, and had the support of a new family of friends. I wouldn't have had the pleasure of meeting those people, if we were not all placed in that fishbowl.

I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.

With technology now, you can go in and sing a song, and for $100,000, you will sound flawless.

Make money your god and it will plague you like the devil.

I have to trust something that gives me power; I have to believe in something, but in my career I have a lot of moments I cannot explain with God.

For many, the hijab represents modesty, piety and devotion to God, and I truly respect that. But the hijab should not be used as a means of applying social pressure on people.

My faith is everything. It’s the bedrock, the foundation and the core of who I am."
