“The point of life is to find something that you’re deeply passionate about, because as frightening as it seems to wander off the beaten path alone, you start to see that everybody has their own pace they prefer to climb at and experience life by. You begin to find your own. At the end of the day, and at the end of my climb, it doesn’t really matter if I make it to the top or not. The point is that I’m willing to start, from the ground up.”

“We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.”

“‘Distance’ is a song about loving someone at the wrong time in your life. maybe its too soon, maybe its too late, but never the less its about being around that one whom your heart longs for without being about to show your true feelings, without being able to tell them. its very hard to keep love a secret, and i wrote this song about the one time, i had to.”

“Health can mean skinny but skinny doesn’t always mean healthy. And because the physical body does often reflect one’s emotional/mental/spiritual state, it isn’t a crime to perceive something with your eyes. I’m just saying, if someone’s appearance has “declined”, isn’t it better to ask the person what he/she may be going through? What if work is stressful? What if he/she is sick? What if someone in the family died? What if he/she is undergoing depression? What if it’s a natural process of aging, and it’s beautiful in its own right? Anyone can see the flesh. Only those who love can see the heart.”
