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

If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.

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

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.

All music is worship. It just depends on what you’re worshipping.

We were meant to live for so much more.
