Whether you’re checked in or checked out, you’re always on a spiritual journey.

My brother says that I was writing songs about fate while he was off playing soccer. Now I tell him he's 33 and being a professional while I'm playing soccer with my friends. Ha!

I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

When I'm really, really angry, if I'm privileged enough to be next to someone who can hold my anger, I'll definitely take them up on holding the bucket.

I was extremely moved by the plight of Tsunami victims and I was inspired to try to make a difference.

They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in.

I love the universality of music and how it can viscerally connect people from culture to culture, regardless of anything. It kind of levels everything out and connects us. That universal sound thing is a big deal to me.
