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

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

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

So it's 1976 and we're still riding on our past success. I mean I've gone on like that for I don't know how long.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio...well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.

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.

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