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

I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.

Music is mere tuning a song with words to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.

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.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.

For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.

I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.

Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.

There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

Paste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.

If you can have a couple of tight friends that you can tell things to, that you can say, 'Hey, this is what I'm struggling with,' and then pray and talk about it, then that's an incredible thing.

I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
