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.

Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.

There's a much bigger picture beyond surfing, its part of an ocean culture. Everything comes back to Mother Nature. Surfing is a way of connecting, and saying thanks.

You can't start a fire in the pouring rain.

Being an opener is all about warming up the audience for the main band. That is always fun, pretty easy; there isn't a lot of pressure.

On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.

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

Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.

If you want perfection or close to it...listen to the record.

I can't wait to be a mom and a wife, and explore that phase of life. And also see how it affects and influences my song writing and creativity.

For me I want to know everything that goes on with my business but at the end of the day I just want to live, experience, be inspired and create music.

A person who wields power cannot see truth

No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.

Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.

The Russians don't make determinations about what our defense posture is.

We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement.

I've been running since high school. My boyfriend was on the track team, and I'd run with him.

I feel as comfortable anywhere as I feel uncomfortable anywhere.

And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth; that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.

We are here for just a spell, so get a few laughs.

I love the holiday season, almost as much as I love touching myself in front of orphans.
