Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.

I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.

I love a good pop song. I have no problem with the concept of doing that sort of thing. For me, it's usually what I'm inspired by, what I'm thinking about.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.

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

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

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. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.

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

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

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

If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.

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.

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

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 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.
