I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.

All of us are heaven-sent, and there was never meant to be only one.

As a surfer, I am interested in the ocean. And I am concerned and interested in all of these natural and cultural rumblings underfoot as well.

The world's a rollercoaster and I am not strapped in. Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air.

Unfortunately, the simplest things - such as thinking for myself, creating my own reality and being whatever the hell I want to be each day of my life - are a sin. To be a good Christian basically means to give up the reigns of your life and let some unseen force do it for you.

Art is everywhere, and everywhere is art.

I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
