Keep a cool head and a warm heart. A mantra that became a song, inspired by the wise words of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. If we all take the time to listen and love each other, this world would be a better place.

Locally and globally, we need to be doing everything we can to help Mother Earth.

As a songwriter, your songs are, in a way, like your children - you want them to be appreciated.

The problem with popularity is that if it gets too popular everybody leaves and goes somewhere else.

On a personal level, I would like my loved ones to know that I have always done the best that I could to demonstrate my love, and worked hard to provide them with a sense of security. On a more global level, I would like to see that my efforts, whether with the Beach Boys or as an individual, achieve as much benefit to humanity as possible during my lifetime. Peace and love!

Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.

Keep a cool head and a warm heart.
