A sunny, happy day is beautiful, but when it's moody, and storm is coming, there's an energy in the air.

I sing the best when I'm really in my voice. It's kind of like I'm meditating but I sort of imagine my voice as a physical thing. I see colours, I feel it moving out of me and I try to tap into images that I was tapping into when I was writing the song.

Pain is part of how I get inspiration and part of how I gain wisdom on life. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I don't transform it, I just let it be. I kind of let it move through me, let it consume me and I let it take me over and hurt me, and I let it go away when it's ready to go away and I understand that it's just part of the process.

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 think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

The people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they're very thankful. That's one thing I really appreciate about the yoga culture, that the people are very thankful. They come up to you as much as any fan would, but they express sincere gratitude and I appreciate that.
