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 met Paul in 1967, Ringo in 1985, and I saw George Harrison in a nightclub somewhere in L. A. I never met John.

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

I've never written one note or word of music simply because I think it will make money.

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

The only reason I'd ever get a sex change operation is to see what it's like to be right all the time.

I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.
