It's cool to be healthy now! It's cool to, like, drink fresh juices and drink Kombucha and all that stuff.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

I always liked playing music and I always wanted to be good at playing guitar. I always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn't really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.

Things aren't always as they appear. I've been believing things to be a certain way because I want them to be that way. I build up illusions in my head.

I can write songs, but I'm not gonna really feel good about the song unless it feels like me, and I'm not gonna release a song or put it on an album or play it in concert unless it really feels like me.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

As an artist I write about the world I want to live in. And as a musician and someone who is in the public eye, I think you have this responsibility to influence people. So I try influence people to live from their heart and make conscious decisions , and I try just inspire people to make positive change. That's purely the reason I do it. I want to see the world get better, you know?
