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

Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.

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 get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight. Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.

I wanted to emulate Bob Flanagan, the high voice in the 'Four Freshmen.' I wanted to sing high like he did.

J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There's a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it's like meditation.
