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

Any article's good. Long as it's publicity, I think that's all that matters. I think it's advancement for my career.

Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of 'That Lucky Old Sun' was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' - not influenced, but inspired.

I have stage fright every single concert I've ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It's absolute living hell.

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.

I approach my music-making as an art-form--something pure from the spirit to which I can add dynamics and marketable reality. Music is genuine and healthy and the stimulation I get from molding it and adding dynamics is like nothing else on earth.

I play piano all the time. I'm always at my piano, playing music.
