Quotes by Stephen:
"I would say that surfing is going to the gym, going to church. going to the bar and happy hour with your friends and going to see the shrink all wrapped into one little session. You gotta understand that it's meant to be all of those things wrapped into one."
"Drumming has been a really good therapy for me. I think people who generally drink too much, do a lot of other things in excess, whether it's social media or whatever. We're characters that go out of control with a lot of different things. It's been a true blessing to get back into it."
"The secret to being a happy kook is that you're gonna have a kook moment every single session. There's not a day where you don't do something stupid, but it's all in the attitude."
