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

I have an instinct for music, or a feeling about it, and I'll have my feelings guide my hands.

I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.

Surfing music is dead. It was just a summer craze for kids on the beach. I'm finished with it.

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

You're called a genius by people, and then your whole life you become the part.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.
