You're always first when no one's on your side.
Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.
Surf is something I have been obsessed with since I was a child.
Being an artist for my well being and as a living, I live in a place of observance and interest in what I consider to be the most relevant questions.
I think that what most artists are trying to do is trying to understand. I think what distinguishes creative people andor artists from another type of person is perhaps a willingness to go headlong into that uncertainty.
It's great to want to be part of something, but it's a different thing completely to believe wholly in some type of movement, and to give everything for that something.
Nothing is indeed "true. "
The world's a rollercoaster and I am not strapped in. Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air.
I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.
I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate.
I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about.
I think freedom of speech is important, but coupled with responsibility.
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things.
Art is everywhere, and everywhere is art.
Never underestimate a dumb question.
I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long.
Above our heads exists an infinity of unfathomable fantasiastics: and fields of future fireside fables trail close behind
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process.
I actually believe 'Sustainability ', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.
