I've been worryin' that we all, live our lives, in the confines of fear
We'll show the fire how to burn.
The best thing is I can say 'I'm working' when I'm having a cup of tea and a cigarette and fiddling on the guitar.
My motive has always been just to be who I am, and play what I love- if that doesn't get me anywhere then at least it wasn't because I tried to be something I'm not.
I like to think illegal downloads only do real damage to the endless amounts of careless pop music though.
Surfing and music have always been two completely separate things in my life, and a lot of people, especially in the UK, don't really get surfing very much. They think it's the Californian dream. They're like, "Oh, so you're a surfer and you're this and that," and it's like, I go surfing because I like the outdoors. In England it's freezing cold, and it's usually dark and raining and it's the middle of winter, and you do it because it's invigorating. It's like going on a walk in some remote place on the planet. It's really - it's not very glamorous.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
I love playing music - and live especially - and I love being on the road. It gets in your blood.
I like to believe a true fan of music or an artist has a genuine respect for what the artist does and has a distinct understanding of their actions. In that buying an album they are helping the artist to continue making music. It's hard because everyone wants something to be free.
I think music piracy is forcing many people to look at the live aspect of the record industry as an income and in many ways that's what sets apart good music and musicians from the fly by night pop sensations.
What I love about the tours is the day to dayness of it all.. you meet so many people and travel so much in such a short period of time and it's always so concentrated and focused that it stops you thinking beyond the box too much. I love things that absorb you completely.
If I wasn't a musician... I think I'd just be endlessly traveling.
