There's something Zen-like about the way I work - it's like raking gravel in a Zen Buddhist garden.

The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

In the dressing room, we've just made it really Zen: low lighting, lots of candles, and fresh, healthy food.

To me I've just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I'm enjoying it.

Surfing soothes me, it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground.

I read a lot of Zen books. And I grew up surfing, so that has always been my escape.

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
