"Everything's everything. I'm starting to see that more all the time. Before, I used to look at it like, there's my art and
there's my surfing and there's my music. And the more you get involved in all of it, the more you start to nurture the linking
up of all of it. When you gain enough facility in your music to where you start to make your own sounds, it's just like in surfing
when you start to make your own movements - you have a style that's hopefully not contrived, it's from the heart, it's just how
you move through the water. It's like a dance, and ideally you want to get that same facility in your music and in your art and
then you start to see that it's all the same thing, it all links up. The marks you put on paper or canvas, or the notes you play,
are just mirroring the same kind of attitude that you might have when you're riding a wave ... Taking it down to a real core
level, almost everybody's got a style when they sign their name. That's at a real pure level. So you want to strive to where
you get your art, and your music and your surfing to be that automatic, as automatic as signing your name. So, you take that
little movement, that's a real stylish, little Zen thing right there, signing your name, and you can apply that to watching
Kelly Slater at Pipeline. He's just signing his name all over the place, and it's really improvisational and it's really artful
and it's not contrived. It's really pure, maybe at a purer level than anybody's ever seen, but everybody can relate to it because
everybody's been striving to surf like that, everybody's been visualizing surfing like that for 30 years."
