There are a lot of similarities between music and surfing. There's a rhythm to both of them and with sound waves and ocean waves, you see patterns, plus the breathing is all part of it.

I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

IF YOU APPROACH THE WORLD WITH THE APRON OF A SERVANT,THEN YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO PLACES THAT YOU CAN'T GO IF YOU APPROACH IT WITH THE CROWN OF A KING

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

Eventually everything fails me, but when I look at the sunset or the sky, I'm reminded what it's like to be alive.

Life's a story don't you doubt. Bad times give you something to talk about.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

It's not about who you think you know, but about who actually knows you.

I've probably tried every fad diet in the world.

Every anxiety is a mild form of premonition, and from that point the shade deepens till we get the forebodings and hauntings that merge into lunacy.

Communists are frustrated capitalists.

I write as straight as I can, just as I walk as straight as I can, because that is the best way to get there.

Demons may be either good or bad, like any other class of beings.

..because when we look up into the sky at night there will be no darkness, just the blazing light of billions and billions of stars, all falling.

I was probably finding my feet more than anybody. I really have to say I was more obsessed with myself faltering than anybody else.
