It's when you cry just a little, but you laugh in the middle that you've made it.

Open up your plans and damn you're free!

I think there’s no greater joy than completing a song out of thin air. It’s like inventing something, but it’s invisible, you know? It’s weird. It amazes me. You can send it out in the world, and that’s the joy. It’s like giving birth to all these songs and letting them go like they’re your kids.

You win some, you learn some.

My memory is not so good so my most memorable show is the last one I played. Songs are written with intention but they only emerge in the moment.

It makes me feel great, knowing my songs are being heard and of service to people.

I struggle sometimes superficially with my management or with my own career about how much time I spend traveling or giving myself away to promote my music or myself when I'd rather be gardening or surfing or being at home with my loved ones. And everyone struggles with that; everyone struggles with having to go to work. And I struggle with how humankind ended up this way.
