I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the song of the birds and the shuffle in the leaves of my many woodland friends.
It takes no time to fall in love, but it takes you years to know what love is.
Here’s to freedom, cheers to art. Here’s to having an excellent adventure and may the stopping never start.
Life can't work for you if you don't show up as you.
Everything in life influences my music.
You don't have to live near the ocean for it to have an impact on you. And you don't have to live near the ocean for you to have an impact on it.
I write a lot of material you've never heard that live inside my sadness. You'll hear a song that lasts six to seven minutes of just beautiful sadness. But I can't just go out on the stage to ask five thousand people to be sad with me for seven straight minutes,
In case you never noticed, the path you never chose has chosen you.
Quite simply I've distilled my mission down to the essence. The only thing I'm really here to do is shine light on people's lives through music, through laughter and to simply enjoy being with people.
Music is a weapon in the war against unhappiness.
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine
Another year is fast approaching. Go be that starving artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world.
I always write to understand my place in the world. I can see myself and my life unfold on the page, and I can understand my strengths, my weaknesses - I can see where I need to step up a bit.
I guess my music career is my personal life. You know, I've always been a writer who wants to write about my experiences. And so this experience being added to that, I - I want to live extraordinary experiences. And when I give advice to people, I want it to be sage advice.
