Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Experience is all I have. I equate song-writing with archeology. Every day you dig. You dig into different places within yourself - even finding places that you've rarely been. And buried within the soil is song.

My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.

The song can be a little bit more of the mystery and leave the whole thing open ended. But there's something really gratifying about saying exactly what you mean.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.
