I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe He gave me the passion and determination to continue surfing. You fall off the horse, and you get back on. I had to go for it.

I don't need easy, I just need possible.

Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.

People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.

Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.

Life is full of what-ifs. You can’t let it hold you back. If you do, you’re not really living at all… just kind of going through the motions with no meaning

Love is bigger then a tsunami, stronger then any fear.

Being creative on the waves is challenging, but we each create art in our own way.

Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

We all go through rough times. We have those obstacles that seem too large to overcome or that current that you never seem to swim out of. We have to decide what matters most to us - our passions.

My strength came from my relationship with Christ and from the love and encouragement of my family and friends.

Vision is the #1 key to adventure.

There are places I want to visit where if I'm wearing a baseball cap and some sunglasses I think I can get away with and mingle in a crowd.

Tom doesn't have any principles, or if he does, he puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Tom?

When the sun shineth, make hay.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me.

I really love nature. I grew up in the country. But one of the things about nature is that it is beautiful but it's also very dangerous.

The same piece of music alters at each hearing. But oh, the need to repeat and repeat and repeat unchanged the sexual experience.

It's nice to have options even if you can't take them.

I'd rather be just a Korean musician as opposed to, you know, a K-Pop musician.

I also know that we must cultivate our garden. For when man was put in the Garden of Eden, he was put there ut operaretur eum, to work; which proves that man was not born for rest.
