walks bike i-can
I get out on my bike almost every day. If I can't walk somewhere, I'll bike or skateboard.
dumb dumb-questions underestimate
Never underestimate a dumb question.
moving feelings tea
Shakira's music isn't my cup of tea, but the way she moves her hips reminds me of the feeling you get when you climb the gym pole.
people eccentric idolized
I have always idolized eccentric people.
play effort band
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.
long happy-love today
I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long.
ideas people excited
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.
writing men voice
Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.
children surf obsessed
Surf is something I have been obsessed with since I was a child.
art writing perfect
Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.
responsibility thinking freedom-of-speech
I think freedom of speech is important, but coupled with responsibility.
thinking artist aquariums
I am tapping into a place in you that is unexplored, and very dangerous, but I think essential to the creative life of an artist.
your-side firsts sides
You're always first when no one's on your side.
doors people important
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
