I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard-working guy.

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

I earned my famous name.

I always do get a little bit paranoid when I get a lot of attention. But I get used to it.

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.

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.

I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?
