Nothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I'm thankful for that. I haven't lost my head, and I haven't lost my desire to keep growing.

Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.

I used to want to be fully observational, but I'm just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

If I hear a really good song it's like, oh man, I want to write a song that good. But the urge to create mostly comes from nature, weather and I think it just effects me.

I think most artists would agree, it's one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that's loving it, it's another thing to add cameras, but it's a really cool trade off to be on television.

It's cool to be healthy now! It's cool to, like, drink fresh juices and drink Kombucha and all that stuff.

Death is the reward for living

It is easier to kill a million armed men than a single unarmed idea.

Praise, my dear one.Let us disappear into praising.Nothing belongs to us.

I think it's easy for me to connect to some people, and I don't know if that's the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was.

My general working style is to write everything first with pencil and paper, sitting beside a big wastebasket. Then I use Emacs to enter the text into my machine.

Preserve, within a wild sanctuary, an inaccessible valley of reverie.

None can hold fortune still and make it last.

I’ve never lived my life by the expectations society puts on you. When something doesn’t feel right or isn’t going the way it should, I listen to my instincts and change it.

There are three levels of happiness: the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life.

Think not thou canst sigh a sigh And thy maker is not by; Think not thou canst weep a tear And thy maker is not near.
