hands air world
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.
art media magic
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.
smart stupid sheep
People, like large groups of people are stupid. Individuals are smart and can deal with things and can make things last and work, but when people get together in big crowds they're stupid. They turn into sheep, then you have major situations.
ocean moving spinning-around
There are five known gyres spinning around in our world's oceans. A gyre is a slowly moving spiral of currents created by a high pressure system of air currents. A spinning soup, so to speak, is made of what exists in the water. And in this case, the gyres are spinning with millions of tons of our discarded and forgotten about plastic waste!
feelings radio sound
Your music sounds better on the radio, for some reason. It's an amazing feeling. I hope it never goes away.
fables fields infinity
Above our heads exists an infinity of unfathomable fantasiastics: and fields of future fireside fables trail close behind
art writing perfect
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.
writing men voice
Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing - we're domesticated apes with a microphone.
play effort band
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.
children surf obsessed
Surf is something I have been obsessed with since I was a child.
heaven-sent heaven meant-to-be
All of us are heaven-sent, and there was never meant to be only one.
long happy-love today
I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long.
ideas people excited
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.
creative painting problem
Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving.
