"I went to Santa Monica High School and skated the Dog Bowl and hung out with all those guys, Jay Adams, etc. I went to go see this documentary and I thought I was going to be the only person there. And when I saw all these kids and they're clapping at the end of it, it was the first time it registered that the whole culture is over-romanticized on the East Coast. But on the West Coast, it was really looked down upon. It was low end. You wouldn't tell people that you surfed or that you skateboarded. It was definitely not something that was celebrated. I really appreciated that, and I was really happy to be part of this kind of outlaw culture. At the same time, I know so many people in Malibu who just take the mindset of: "Well, my parents worked their whole lives to buy this house on the beach. I'm already here. Why don't I just stay?" I just think that there is a little bit more to life than that."

"Retaining things is an attempt to outsmart death, in the same way that creating things is."

Let all thoughts about anything, other than the doing, also fade away.
They'll come up, but gently make note of them, and then let them go. And return to the doing.

If you're washing a dish, do it slowly, and feel every sensation. If you're eating a fruit, taste it, feel the textures, be mindful of your hunger or lack of it. If you're writing something, pour your heart into that writing, become the writing, inhabit the words.

Just do.

The rest of the world becomes meaningless distraction. It's just you, and your doing.
And you realize this is all that matters. In this, there is everything.

"In the past, owning a piece of clothing with the red Supreme logo on it was like a more authentic "I Love NY" t-shirt, a tourist token that instantly made you feel a part of a certain downtown New York ethos."
