When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.

Songwriting is like a therapy, it's a connection that you have with another person, and I'm not scared of it at all for some reason.

Be happy and comfortable with who you are, whoever it may be.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

I miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

Whenever I'm on tour and I'm in my hotel room and I'm writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I'm writing in there. It's just what I love to do.

Creating music fulfills me. It gives me purpose. It connects me with the world.

Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.

If you watch a film without music, there's nothing that you can connect with.

It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends

Until we have a serious discussion, this problem [racism] will continue to occur.

There's something desirable about anything you're used to as opposed to something you're not.

Hindu religious literature, indeed all religious literature, is full of illustrations to prove the truth.

The Lord God, the creator of Judaism and the God of Judaism and Christianity, empowered our minds and gave us the ability to question.

We are sworn to uphold the Constitution and law. And it has to be consistent and agreed upon with three branches of government - one can't overrule the other two.

The most successful people recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.

No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
