Music will always be judged by our subjective ears.

I have horrible acting ability. I can only be one thing and that's it. So for better, for worse, that's all I've got to offer is me. I've got nothing else.

I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

Switchfoot is a surfing term… To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.
