I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.

I hate those old falsettos, I really do, and it's embarrassing since I've grown up.

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

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.

All of the artists did such a beautiful job I can’t thank them enough. I’m just honored that 'God Only Knows' was chosen. 'God Only Knows' is a very special song. An extremely spiritual song and one of the best I’ve ever written.
