Happiness does not come from the things that we have but the abandoning of things that we cling to, by letting go of the attachments to things we don't want.

That perfect day, that magic moment that we're all waiting for, is right now.

Seeing my children in the morning as they come down from their bedrooms makes my heart come alive. There's just no better moment in my day.

I have about four different endeavors I'm going after right now. They all excite me in different ways. I'm all about keeping as many irons in the fire as possible. I'm writing music, trying to write a book (aren't we all?), putting a festival together, speaking... It keeps life interesting.

When you have children, it's like having your heart beating outside your chest. You can drive yourself crazy wanting to protect them and make sure that nothing harms them. It's a feeling of vulnerability that you can't get around sometimes.
