Paul Simon is my absolute hero. He's one of a kind. He wrote his own ticket in life by being himself.

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

Nature inspires me because it's so peaceful. It makes me have an inward experience. It makes me reflective and nostalgic.

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

I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

I think for me to do a traditional sitting meditation I would really have to spend a couple weeks working at it. The only way I know how to efficiently, effectively meditate is by walking in nature.

If I hear a really good song it's like, oh man, I want to write a song that good. But the urge to create mostly comes from nature, weather and I think it just effects me.
