Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.

People get so caught up in needing to know and having to prove themselves to be right, and I'm blown away by this.

Growing up, the way that I looked was very important to me. I was always trying to impress people, and when I grew my beard there was a certain freedom, a separation, getting past this the way I looked, identify myself as a spiritual seeker.

My music is not really about one ideology. It's not about one truth.

I'm vulnerable reading people's comments on Facebook.

We're so quick to go to make things black and white, and to put things in their box. But everything is this mixture - and that's what this world is - is this blend of different things.

When you meet somebody who is vulnerable, there is an attraction. There is something to that. There is beauty there.
