If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

I try to surf everyday or at least go for a walk on the beach if the waves are flat. The more I travel, the more I appreciate where I live and the ocean.

Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

I do have an obligation, however, a debt that cannot be settled by my lyrical decisions. My life will be judged by my obedience, not my ability to confine my lyrics to this box or that.

There are tears that shine like a smile, sobbing like a sunrise for the truth.
