I want to live the way I choose. It's all about happiness. I'm a happy person. But to find true happiness, peace within yourself and the world, that is something achieved in the moment. No matter the circumstance.

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

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain - that is the most inspiring thing.

The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.

I don't wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

I guess it's just my job to somehow balance knowing that every song is going to come differently and be different, but also know that, on the other hand, I am a songwriter and I am a craftsman, and I do have a craft and a technique and a method. So I need to balance the technique and the method.

Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
