Locally and globally, we need to be doing everything we can to help Mother Earth.

I've always been very involved with environmental issues. I was fortunate to be one of the speakers at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero some years back, and Bruce Johnson and I served on the board of the Surfrider Foundation here at home. Locally and globally, we need to be doing everything we can to help Mother Earth.

I learned that when you do the best job that you can do, some people will idolize you, others won't care, and some will vilify you. I believe it is important to remain humble and thankful for the blessings in our lives, for the tremendous opportunities that are a result of our musical success.

There are a few good 'psych' groups but too many never change from their first appearance. They don't develop.

You have to be careful not to get overexposed.

Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.

During meditation your metabolism and your breath rate go down to a level of rest, twice that of deep sleep.
