Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.

You kind of gotta step back from your dreams and your passions once in a while, and kind of do something else for a minute so that you can come back to it with a fresh outlook, and be real inspired by something else, so you can give something back to your dreams and your passions.

When you have fans telling you their stories it makes you feel like you're not alone.

Me and my friends get together all the time for girls night, or watch rock of love on the couch. I end up going out to a lot of shows, and surfing with my folks is always high on the priority list.

I think people in general that don't surf, have a fascination with it. Its definitely much more than a sport or activity, its a way of life. There is a culture that surrounds it and I think people are intrigued by that.

I'm just as normal as anybody else. I'm just probably in the same place as many people in their mid to late twenties are.

I think it's important to make sure you learn and understand the business that you are in, but it's also important to not let that get in the way of your main focus.
