By the end of the writing process, which is about 80 songs per album, I look at the material and think, what's going to make a difference in someone's life.

Music was always the distraction, so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do, that way it wouldn't feel like a job. So I did that.

And it's okay if you have to go away. Oh, just remember the telephone works both ways ((You and I Both))

I love the feeling of putting my feet back on the sand after I've been out in the ocean for a while. I love that. I guess the adrenaline calms down when the sense of balance returns in a really grounded way.

There's nothing more vulnerable than just standing in front of a thousand people, or ten thousand people, and doing your best to entertain them, touch them in some way.

EVERYTHING is love, so the only thing that's not love is our resistance to love, is us trying to be separate from the world.

Well, for me, what I've learned at the very end of this, love is sharing, and I think that really is, for me, the best place to go to experience love, is sharing.
