I love the idea that you can create a world through song.

I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.

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.

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

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

It's a great thing to see the strength of simplicity.

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.
