People are part of my music. A lot of my songs are the result of emotional experiences, sadness, pain, joy, and exultation in nature and sunshine and so on...like 'California Girls' which was a hymn to youth.

There's nothing greater than a girl.... Well a kid, your daughter, but that's a girl too.

I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.

Humor - it helps to make the vibe better - it loosens up the vibrations.

You don't really know what to believe until the Government denies it.

I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.
