I never sit down to write or say, "Today, I have to record something." I wait to hear it and then I go for it.

We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in, change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes, creatively and spiritually.

When I'm doing interiors - especially the ones where you really have full creative freedom - it's about creating an environment for people to feel so comfortable and at ease. I want them to become inspired to live and feel better.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.

People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
