When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.

I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am.

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

You want songs to sound cohesive with the other songs on the record but when you first start writing you just want to write to tell the truth.

I love the idea that you can create a world through song.

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

Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

Anything worth doing in this world is incredibly difficult to do.

Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.
