I really love music and I want to make it better the best I can.

I've had the same core group of friends that I've always had. We're surfing, so that definitely keeps you grounded.

I find that a lot of times when family members get bronchitis or the flu or something like that, I'll kind of skate through and be really lucky and not get that sick.

There's a lot of different things, but I think love gives us peace one way or another, and a calming effect on our soul, so I don't know exactly what love is to me, but I know I try my best to surround myself with that. Whenever I can. It's hard sometimes.

My first attempt at real music was when I was 13. My first signed band was when I was 21; that failed. I got another deal at 26; that failed, and then I was broke.

I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.

I've had the same friends I've always had. I mean, I've lost a few over the years.
