Every summer, my grandparents would rent a house on Balboa Island. They had the house next to Bob Hope's. I've been going down there all my life, to that whole area.

There is so much to life; my heart breaks watching someone held captive by addiction.

I never thought of myself as a really particularly great singer.

You have to be careful not to get overexposed.

You can't sustain a fan base on a great catalog alone. You must take your music directly to the people.

There's the historical part of The Beach Boys' music; it's pretty incredible, pretty vast and pretty varied too.

The studio part, to me, can be pretty laborious. You're inside for hours on end and can be pretty frustrating to get the sound you hear in your head to come out of those speakers.
