I earned my famous name.
I consider myself to be a crusader of love. I try to spread love around the world as best I can because I know I have a handle on love.
I was very, very financially secure my whole life. I have been very lucky to say that.
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.
I hate those old falsettos, I really do, and it's embarrassing since I've grown up.
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.
