I love just going out; long drives, the ocean, my kids, new music, new gear, new plug-ins, coffee, and donuts at four in the morning. Even just waking up and writing.

I believe animals should be respected as citizens of this earth. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life.

Whether I'm stressed out or angry or happy or depressed - however I feel, I say "I love my life," no matter what. That usually keeps me centered.

How do I not get so wrapped up in what I think needs to happen? Going with the flow is the way to do it.

Nothing is for sure. Change is the only thing that is the absolute.

As an artist and a songwriter myself, I like to feel connected to modern culture and watch how sounds change.

I've learned that each day is definitely a gift.

I do pranayama breathing now as a meditation, and that's very helpful. Meditating changed my life.

Walking my dogs, playing with my kids - all of that is really good stuff to keep me centered.

I meditate every day for between ten to twenty minutes. Every morning, I work out and go to the gym for an hour. I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

I learned that once it's over, it's really over, and to not take anything for granted.

Real life is never quite as interesting as the story told afterward.

A warrior doesn’t worry. He or she evaluates the situation, investigates the source, calculates the risks and benefits, formulates a plan then puts it into action.

When you fail to be your own boss, You are giving somebody else the contract.

Caring nature is the best commitments you can do for your feature!!!

Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship.

It's not necessarily a large number of people that affect the culture. You don't count the number of influential voices, you weigh them. A hundred people can affect the culture.

Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.

Happiness, like misfortunes, never comes alone.

When you hear voices from your past, do not close your ears, listen to them, but don't stop, keep walking to the future.

I vowed to never, ever talk or reason like an adult.
