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.

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.

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.

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.

Poverty only tries men's souls. It is loneliness that breaks the heart.

The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.

It's time you stop thinking that because you did something, it's... amazing. All you've got to do is say, 'OK. If I'm great, what do they call Steve Jobs?'

People are tired of liberty. They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin.... Today's youth are moved by other slogans...Order, Hierarchy, Discipline.

If you want to play a game, go to where it's played and find a way to get in. Things happen when you get in the game.

Embracing yourself is important and I wish that all women would realize how beautiful they are, inside and out.

Let me sum it up for ya: We got some people who work for a living, and we got some people who vote for a living.

There is a point when you aren't as much mom and daughter as you are adults and friends.

People turn their eyes and ears to him (the sage), and the sage cares for them like his own children.
