As an artist I write about the world I want to live in. And as a musician and someone who is in the public eye, I think you have this responsibility to influence people.

I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.
