For me, the magic of Hawaii comes from the stillness, the sea, the stars.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L.A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I'm in love with it and it's home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place.
The beauty of Hawaii probably surpasses other places. I like the Big Island and the two mountains, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, where you can look out at the stars.
The magic of living life for me is, and always has been, the magic of living on the land, not in the magic of money.
The world is its own magic.
If you look at a map, you see that Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. It's 17 hours of straight flying from London. It's very far away, and sometimes you feel as if you're on another planet. But I like that. Also, that's ideal for writing.
Hawaii is absolutely beautiful.
I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.
I go to an all-Hawaiian school, and we learn everything about being Hawaiian. We have a really deep respect for the water and the land. We say, 'mauka to makai,' mountains to ocean. I believe if you take care of the ocean, the ocean will take care of you in return.
Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.
Hawaii is so complex; there are so many points of view, and there are so many experiences to see and to find.
