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.

Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.

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.

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.

I don't know about you, but I find the idea of a school at night time - imagining the silent classrooms in total darkness and the playgrounds left lonesome and bare - creepily peculiar.

I think to myself: I don't want to survive this oneI want to burn up in the wreckage

Losing myself is so second nature to me by now that I'm always surprised when it's noticed by others.

When a man or woman is born again by the Spirit of God they will give evidence of it in part by striving to live a holy life.

Those who have heard me speak from time to time know that quite often I cite the observation of that great American author, Mark Twain, who said, history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

Your "use case" should be, there's a 22 year old college student living in the dorms. How will this software get him laid?

Love could never bloom in a concrete block room.

Pot is like a gang of Mexican bandits in your brain. They wait for thoughts to come down the road, then tie them up and thrash them.

As one Israeli said, "It's a big mistake for Israel to say it 'won' the war, when there was no war. There were no battles...no military enemy in the field."

It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
