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.

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.

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

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?

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

I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I'm in nature.

I love being creative, and for me it doesn't matter what it is - whether it's art or music or just daydreaming.
