There are a lot of similarities between music and surfing. There's a rhythm to both of them and with sound waves and ocean waves, you see patterns, plus the breathing is all part of it.

In my opinion, the best way of showing someone the best way to live life is by living it.

For me, when I think about Christ, I think about this iconoclastic man who lived and died for the broken. And the paramount underdog, which is basically turning the world on it’s head. Blessed are the poor and blessed are the hungry, blessed are the broken, all these things that feel very backwards in our fame, power, beauty, riches hungry world. That’s who Christ is to me.

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

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

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

For me, I want to create a environment for the songs to live in. So one song by itself only tells a piece of the story, but in the context of the album, more of the colors are revealed.
