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.

I'm trying to be more of a gentleman.

The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophe.

Music is a weapon in the war against unhappiness.

It's through my health that I'm able to maintain that every single day and keep light in people until I'm actually of service to others.

I was curious as to why a million Americans weren't lining the beaches in boats and with buckets to preserve the life sustaining resource that is the Gulf of Mexico. Personally, as a surfer, I was most sorry for my fellow watermen. Seeing beaches closed due to contamination just broke my heart. If that ever happened in San Diego I'm afraid I might be forced to move.

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again
