When things get too heavy, just call me helium, the lightest known gas to man.

I have to get involved in my own kind of way 'cause I always want to respect my own judgments. I have to respect my own time.

Sometimes the music people put you into these big, rush things.

All I'm writing is just what I feel, that's all. I just keep it almost naked. And probably the words are so bland.

Your people I do not understand, so to you I shall put an end, and you'll never hear surf music again.

To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we're trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?

I just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around.
