I know that if I do the right amount of, say, meditation and hot yoga or something, I can move the energy through my body and get rid of my cold within twenty-four hours.
Whenever there’s a camera in my face, that’s when I feel vulnerable, and then it turns into a little bit of being self-conscious, which I think is the worst kind of vulnerability.
The power of yes: that’s what allows creativity to breathe and to come in. That’s what allows your ideas to become living, breathing, moving dreams in action.
What I get on a yoga mat, and from a yoga teacher, has been more beneficial onstage than any other workshop I’ve ever done.
If you have a dream, this is your chance. We don’t always have to play it safe because people might think you’re weird.
I love getting a smile out of my girlfriend – that makes me feel like I’m seen, or heard.
I love surfing and bodysurfing. I love getting slammed by the waves – that makes me feel alive. The waves are a good reminder that I’m small and fragile.
I had to have a lot of jobs until I was supporting myself through music, but I knew that those jobs were all leading me to something. It was all about taking things one step at a time, one day at a time.
Love is the only thing that makes the world spin around, I think. It’s weird. We have to call it “love,” because we have to call it something, but it’s not a word. It’s an energy. It’s an act. It’s an action. It’s a natural thing.
EVERYTHING is love, so the only thing that’s not love is our resistance to love, is us trying to be separate from the world.
I’ve always used songwriting as a way to help me organise reality.
I get my most creative energy after a show, so I love to go back to the hotel and compose new material. I generally do it in a rush. I have to get it out, otherwise I can’t sleep.
In my lifetime, I want to see humanity start being conscious of our waste, the things we buy, and how we can reuse and recycle things. I want people to live harmoniously with our planet. I hope everybody wakes up and appreciates life.
I love the feeling of putting my feet back on the sand after I’ve been out in the ocean for a while. I love that. I guess the adrenaline calms down when the sense of balance returns in a really grounded way.
Creativity is a religion. When you get into it, you will find your life becomes more spiritual.
Other people’s lives are affected by how you are treating yourself and the way in which you are performing.
How we treat food is how we treat ourselves. Eating and buying organic means we’re committed to a healthier world overall. It’s good karma.
The studio and road both have their charms. The studio allows me to be a mad scientist and the tour lets me feel like James Bond.
Free downloads is something that I like to do its just not as publicised and it is the future of music.
The internet is awesome and responsible for my success.
