Traveling is also a big inspiration for me.

I fell in love with these two passions that I made into careers, and I've never had to give one up.

The things I try to do with Surfrider Foundation, SurfAid, Love Hope Strength, which is a cancer foundation, I try to do as many benefits and fundraising things as I possibly can. It's so important, if you have any kind of a voice, or any way to make a difference, to do that. So, I'm trying to do that, and have fun in the moment, and live life, and hope it all comes together.

[Jack Johnson] really helped me make the record, put it out, and then let me tour with him for two years. He really helped me out.

[Jack Johnson]gave me my whole start in music, which was the coolest thing ever.

That's how it all started, when I met my wife. My music career, even though I started when I was 16, it never really started till I was like 30, when I started singing and writing my own songs, and that's when it really took off. But prior to that, I was just doing a bunch of covers.

They say things happen for a reason You don't do them, they won't.
