I'm a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I'm not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that's what yoga's about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

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 can't really write unless I'm full of inspiration. And even then I can't write unless I have some alone time.

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.

Pain is a part of life. It's certainly part of my creative process.

Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?

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