Sometimes the things that hurt are worth the pain.

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.

The tendency in today's culture is to want to be a 'star', but I want to be a servant.

I often use music as a handle for very emotionally explosive substances: love, sex, God, fear, doubt, politics, the economics of the soul - these are daunting thoughts in the back of my mind that I rarely visit without the safety gloves of song.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

Please be slow to judge ‘brothers’ who have a different calling.

The life, when we're aware of beauty, is kind of a bittersweet thing, it's a transient reminder of eternal beauty, which someday we will be face to face with.
